When driving a motor vehicle on urban roads with center lines: The maximum speed must not exceed 40 kilometers per hour; for roads with only one motor vehicle lane in the same direction, the speed limit is 50 kilometers per hour for urban roads and 70 kilometers per hour for highways.
I've been driving for over twenty years, and the maximum speed limit on urban roads with a centerline is usually around 50 kilometers per hour. Last time I was driving on a two-lane bidirectional road with a clearly marked centerline, the speed limit sign read 50 km/h. I often see new drivers going too fast and almost rear-ending others because this speed limit is set for safety considerations—there are many pedestrians and frequent traffic lights, making it hard to react if driving too fast. In reality, speed limits are adjusted based on road width and traffic volume, but most urban core areas stick to this range. Speeding isn't just about fines; it could lead to serious accidents. Looking back, strictly adhering to speed limits has spared me a lot of trouble in my driving career. With cities developing rapidly and more cars on the road, we drivers should take the lead in following the rules to protect both ourselves and others.
