What is the maximum speed limit for urban roads without a center line?
3 Answers
For roads without a center line, the speed limit on urban roads is 30 kilometers per hour. Here are the relevant details: 1. Regulations: Article 45 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law" states that motor vehicles must not exceed the speed indicated by speed limit signs or markings on the road. On roads without speed limit signs or markings, motor vehicles must not exceed the following maximum speeds: for roads without a center line, the speed limit is 30 km/h on urban roads and 40 km/h on highways. 2. Notes: For roads with only one motor vehicle lane in the same direction, the speed limit is 50 km/h on urban roads and 70 km/h on highways.
As an experienced driver who has been driving for many years, I can tell you that on urban roads without center lines, the maximum speed limit is 30 kilometers per hour. This regulation is designed to ensure safety, as such roads are usually narrow and shared by pedestrians, bicycles, and electric vehicles. Driving too fast can easily lead to collisions. I remember once driving in the old town area where the roads were narrow and crowded with people. I was driving at 40 km/h and almost hit a pedestrian who suddenly crossed the road. Fortunately, I managed to brake in time. Therefore, I advise everyone to strictly adhere to the 30 km/h speed limit and make it a habit to use the speedometer. Don’t rush. Safety comes first—driving slowly reduces the risk of accidents and protects both your life and the lives of others.
I often study traffic regulations, and this issue is quite clear: the maximum speed on urban roads in China without a center line is 30 kilometers per hour. The reason is simple—roads without center lines often have limited visibility, with vehicle and pedestrian traffic intersecting, making it difficult to react at higher speeds. As a driver, I must remind everyone that speeding may result in fines and penalty points, such as 200 yuan and 3 points. It's best to develop the habit of driving slowly, especially near residential areas or schools, using navigation apps to remind you of speed limits. Following the rules not only avoids penalties but is also a responsibility to maintain public safety.
