What is the general speed of a car?
2 Answers
Car speed should be adjusted according to the speed limit signs on the road, as detailed below: 1. Domestic highways: The speed limit is mostly 120 km/h. 2. National roads: The speed limit is generally 80-60 km/h. 3. Urban streets: Usually 40-30 km/h. Highway speed regulations: 1. Speed limits: The maximum speed for small passenger vehicles must not exceed 120 km/h, other motor vehicles must not exceed 100 km/h, and motorcycles must not exceed 80 km/h. The minimum speed must not be less than 60 km/h. 2. Number of lanes in the same direction: If there are 2 lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the left lane is 100 km/h; if there are 3 or more lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the leftmost lane is 110 km/h. The minimum speed for the middle lane is 90 km/h. Vehicles traveling at speeds above 60 km/h but below 90 km/h should drive in the rightmost lane. 3. Speed limit signs: When the speed indicated by road speed limit signs is inconsistent with the above lane speed regulations, drivers should follow the speed indicated by the road speed limit signs.
As an ordinary driver who commutes in the city year-round, I generally find that car speeds fluctuate between 50 and 100 kilometers per hour depending on road conditions. During daily urban driving, especially in rush hour, speeds often drop to around 40 or 50 km/h due to frequent traffic lights and pedestrians crossing, requiring constant readiness to brake and slow down. On weekends when heading out of town on the highway, speeds can increase to around 80 or 100 km/h, which is both time-saving and efficient. I remember one heavy rainstorm when I maintained a speed of 70 km/h on the highway—slower, yes, but it helped me avoid a skidding accident. Safe driving is key, and I always remind myself not to rush, adjusting speed according to traffic signals and weather conditions—clear skies might allow speeds near the upper limit, but foggy or nighttime conditions require slowing down. This flexible control has helped me avoid many troubles and excessive fuel consumption when alternating between highways and city roads. Some roads have clear speed limit signs defining the range, and adhering to them is the wise way to drive.
