What is the minimum speed limit for driving in the middle lane?
2 Answers
Below are the speed limits for the middle lane on highways: 1. If there are three 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; 2. If there are two lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the left lane is 100 kilometers per hour. Below are the general speed limit rules for highways: 1. Highways should clearly mark 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. 2. 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, and motorcycles should not exceed 80 kilometers per hour. 3. If the speed limit indicated by road signs conflicts with the above lane speed regulations, drivers should follow the speed limit indicated by the road signs.
I remember shortly after getting my driver's license, I drove on the highway in the middle lane at 50 km/h, and the car behind me kept flashing its lights, which was quite embarrassing. Later, I learned that the minimum speed on the middle lane of the highway is usually 60 km/h. Driving too slowly is not only against the rules but also increases the risk of accidents. The slow lane allows speeds below 60 km/h, but the middle and left lanes require faster speeds. Like last time when it was raining, I drove a bit slower and felt the car was at risk of skidding. Fortunately, I reminded myself to speed up to over 60 km/h, and the traffic flow became smoother. Everyone should pay attention to road signs—some highways have electronic signs displaying the minimum speed limits. Safety first is the golden rule! New drivers should practice more and not be as clueless as I was back then. Also, the type of car doesn’t make much difference; the key is to follow the rules.
