According to Article 45 of the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China: Motor vehicles driving on roads must not exceed the speed indicated by speed limit signs or markings. On roads without a central dividing line, the speed limit for urban roads is 30 kilometers per hour, and for highways, it is 40 kilometers per hour. On roads with only one motor vehicle lane in the same direction, the speed limit for urban roads is 50 kilometers per hour, and for highways, it is 70 kilometers per hour. The following are the relevant speed limit regulations: 1. Vehicle type speed limits: The maximum speed for small passenger vehicles must not exceed 120 km/h, for other motor vehicles, it must not exceed 100 km/h, and for motorcycles, it must not exceed 80 km/h. The minimum speed must not be lower than 60 km/h. 2. Lane speed limits: On roads with two lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the left lane is 100 km/h. On roads with three or more lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the leftmost lane is 110 km/h. The minimum speed for the middle lane is 90 km/h. Vehicles traveling at speeds above 60 km/h but below 90 km/h should drive in the rightmost lane.
