What is the maximum speed limit on highways?
2 Answers
Highways have a maximum speed limit of 120km/h. Highways should clearly indicate the speed limits for each lane, with the maximum speed not exceeding 120 kilometers per hour and the minimum speed not less than 60 kilometers per hour. On highways, the maximum speed for small passenger vehicles should not exceed 120 kilometers per hour, while other motor vehicles should not exceed 100 kilometers per hour. Relevant regulations: For roads with 2 lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the left lane is 100 kilometers per hour; for roads with 3 or more lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the leftmost lane is 110 kilometers per hour, and the minimum speed for the middle lane is 90 kilometers per hour. If the speed indicated by road speed limit signs is inconsistent with the above lane speed regulations, drivers should follow the speed indicated by the road speed limit signs. If the speed indicated by road speed limit signs is inconsistent with the above lane speed regulations, drivers should follow the speed indicated by the road speed limit signs.
Having driven on highways for over a decade, the maximum speed limit is usually 120 kilometers per hour. This number isn't arbitrarily set—it's for driving safety. Speeding increases braking distance and doubles accident risks. I've driven in rain before; going too fast makes it easy to skid and lose control. Some mountainous highways reduce limits to 100 or even 80, so pay attention to road signs. With more vehicles now and narrower lanes, overtaking requires extra caution. GPS navigation helps by reminding speed limits, but don't rely on it—manually adjusting your speedometer is safer. I recommend making it a habit to set cruise control below 120, avoid stomping the gas when overtaking, and drive smoothly for fuel efficiency and safety. Life is far more precious than time.
