What is the maximum speed when driving a motor vehicle through narrow roads or narrow bridges?
2 Answers
When driving a motor vehicle through narrow roads or narrow bridges, the maximum speed is 30 km/h. Here are some precautions to take when passing through narrow roads or bridges: 1. Speed: When encountering a narrow lane ahead, slow down in advance and increase the distance from other vehicles to avoid collisions. 2. Try to straighten the vehicle body: If the vehicle enters at an angle, it will undoubtedly increase the chance of scraping and reduce the available width for passage. 3. Turning: Always ensure the rear wheels have passed before turning, otherwise turning immediately after the front wheels pass an obstacle can easily lead to scraping when navigating narrow passages.
I often drive on mountain roads and rural paths, encountering narrow roads and bridges quite frequently. According to Chinese traffic regulations, the maximum speed is usually 30 kilometers per hour, but the actual speed depends on road conditions. Once on a one-way bridge, I slowed down to 20 kilometers per hour to avoid a collision with an oncoming vehicle. Narrow roads have limited space and visibility, making it easy to lose control or scrape against obstacles if driving too fast. I recommend drivers control their speed, turn on low beams for better visibility, and frequently check rearview mirrors to judge distances. During rainy days or at night, it's even more important to reduce speed further—safety is a hundred times more important than saving time. Make it a habit to check tires and brakes to ensure a stable stop in emergencies.
