What is the maximum speed limit on Chinese highways?
1 Answers
In China, the minimum speed limit on highways is generally 60km/h, except for special road conditions or weather conditions, while the maximum speed limit is 120km/h. If a motor vehicle is driven on a highway at a speed more than 20% below the prescribed minimum speed under normal circumstances, a fine of 200 yuan will be imposed and 3 points will be deducted. Highways should clearly indicate the speed limits for each lane. If the speed limit indicated by road signs is inconsistent with the prescribed lane speed limits, drivers should follow the speed limit indicated by the road signs. According to Article 78 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law," for roads with two lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the left lane is 100km/h. For roads with three or more lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the leftmost lane is 110km/h, and the minimum speed for the middle lane is 90km/h.
