What is the maximum speed limit on narrow bridges?
2 Answers
When motor vehicles pass through railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads, or narrow bridges, the maximum driving speed must not exceed 30 km/h. Below is a detailed introduction to situations where the maximum driving speed must not exceed 30 km/h: 1. Entering or exiting non-motorized vehicle lanes, passing through railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads, or narrow bridges. 2. Making U-turns, turning, or descending steep slopes. 3. Encountering fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail with visibility within 50 meters. 4. Driving on icy, snowy, or muddy roads. 5. Towing a malfunctioning motor vehicle. 6. Among these, tractors, electric vehicles, and wheeled special machinery must not exceed 15 kilometers per hour.
I believe driving on narrow bridges must be done slowly, with speed controlled below 30 kilometers per hour. Narrow bridges are typically only one lane wide, with water or cliffs on both sides, making high speeds extremely dangerous. Over my years in transportation, I've witnessed many accidents caused by drivers carelessly exceeding 40 km/h—when an oncoming vehicle appears, there's simply no room to avoid it due to the long braking distance, especially during rain or snow when skidding is severe. There might be potholes or pedestrians on the bridge, so maintaining 30 km/h gives you enough time to react and prevents sudden braking that could lead to a rollover. In daily driving, develop the habit of checking navigation alerts to slow down in advance. Don't rush to save those few minutes. Safety is more important than anything—take it slow on the bridge and get home safely.
