What is the maximum speed for motor vehicles driving on icy and snowy roads?
2 Answers
Motor vehicles driving on icy and snowy roads have a maximum speed limit of 30 km/h. The following introduces the main impacts of icy and snowy roads on driving safety: 1. Reasons: When driving on icy and snowy roads, the friction coefficient between the vehicle's tires and the road surface is very low, making it difficult to control the vehicle. Improper operation can cause the vehicle to skid or even spin, threatening the safety of the vehicle and its occupants. 2. Measures: On icy and snowy roads, try to drive along the ruts left by the vehicle in front. Avoid sudden deceleration, sharp turns, and emergency braking as much as possible. Shift gears more frequently and brake less. If overtaking is necessary, fully consider whether there is sufficient road width and time for overtaking. It is essential to control the speed; generally, driving on icy and snowy roads should not exceed 20 kilometers per hour.
I've been driving in the north for seven or eight years, and the most common issue on icy roads in winter is speed control. According to traffic regulations, the maximum speed for vehicles on icy roads should not exceed 30 km/h. However, when actually driving, I often don't even dare to reach that speed, usually keeping it around 20. Last week when it snowed, I went out and specifically tested braking on an icy section: stopping from 20 km/h took over 6 meters, while from 30 km/h it took over 8 meters. Pressing the accelerator just a bit more could have unimaginable consequences. I recommend that beginners not exceed 20 km/h, and experienced drivers should remember to activate snow mode or switch to snow tires, keeping a safe distance of at least twice the usual.
