What is the general speed for medium speed?
3 Answers
Medium speed is generally around 40 kilometers per hour, and most urban streets are speed-limited to 40 kilometers per hour. Here is some relevant information: 1. Low speed: Low speed is below 20 kilometers per hour, such as when entering road intersections, narrow streets, etc., with speed limits below 20 kilometers per hour, and in some places, it is 15 kilometers per hour. 2. High speed: High speed generally refers to speeds above 80 kilometers per hour. The speed limit for primary roads is usually 80 kilometers per hour, while expressways have speed limits of 100 to 120 kilometers per hour (except for sharp curves and steep slopes, where the speed should follow the limits indicated on speed signs).
I've been driving for many years, and medium speed in daily driving usually refers to the range of 30 to 70 kilometers per hour. In city traffic jams, the speed drops to 20 or 30, but in open suburbs or small roads, it increases to 60 or 70, which feels most comfortable—not too slow and sluggish, nor too fast and tense. Weather has a big impact; for example, on rainy days when the road is slippery, I keep it around 50, making braking easier. From experience, the car's engine runs smoothly in this speed range, fuel consumption is not high, and it ensures a safe reaction distance. Additionally, different car models vary significantly; small cars and SUVs have somewhat different suitable speeds. In short, following the speed limit signs is the most reliable—don't speed and cause trouble for yourself.
As a young driver who frequently hits the road, I consider medium speed to be in the range of 70 to 90 kilometers per hour, especially when cruising on highways. It's not fast enough to risk a ticket, nor slow enough to be boring; the throttle response is effortless, and there's still room to enjoy the scenery. I prefer maintaining around 75 km/h—the engine noise is minimal, fuel efficiency is balanced, and I can typically squeeze an extra few dozen kilometers out of a full tank. On inclines or during windy conditions, I make slight adjustments to ensure vehicle stability. When changing lanes or exiting ramps, this speed also provides ample reaction time. After years of driving, I've found medium speed to be the sweet spot between efficiency and enjoyment, though it's crucial to adapt to road conditions as needed.
