What is the maximum speed limit on domestic highways?
2 Answers
The maximum speed on domestic highways must not exceed 120km/h, and the minimum speed must not be lower than 60km/h. Here are some precautions for driving on highways: 1. Use of turn signals: When a motor vehicle enters the highway from the ramp, the left turn signal should be turned on, and it should merge into the lane without hindering the normal driving of vehicles already on the highway. When a motor vehicle exits the highway, the right turn signal should be turned on, and it should enter the deceleration lane, reduce speed, and then exit. 2. Maintaining distance: When a motor vehicle is driving on the highway at a speed exceeding 100 kilometers per hour, it should maintain a distance of more than 100 meters from the vehicle in front in the same lane. When the speed is below 100 kilometers per hour, the distance from the vehicle in front in the same lane can be appropriately shortened, but the minimum distance must not be less than 50 meters.
The maximum speed limit on highways is generally 120 kilometers per hour, which applies to most areas in China. When I drive, I often pay attention to roadside signs and notice that some sections, such as mountainous areas or urban outskirts, may have lower limits of 80 or 100, requiring extra caution. Getting caught speeding not only results in fines starting from at least 200 yuan but also penalty points, which is really not worth it. I think new drivers especially need to be careful, and using a mobile navigation app for real-time speed limit announcements is very practical. Different types of vehicles also have different speed limits—passenger cars can go up to 120, while large trucks are limited to around 100. Safety is even more important; driving too fast can easily lead to accidents in rainy or foggy conditions. On my last long-distance trip, I witnessed a rear-end collision firsthand. It's best for everyone to maintain a safe distance and drive according to the rules.
