What is the minimum speed limit on highways?

[HarmonyMarie]

Highways have a minimum speed limit of 60 km/h. Different lanes on highways have varying speed limits: for two lanes in the same direction, the left lane has a minimum speed of 100 km/h while the right lane maintains 60 km/h; for three lanes in the same direction, the far-left lane requires a minimum of 110 km/h, the middle lane 90 km/h, and the far-right lane 60 km/h. Notably, driving below 60 km/h will result in a 3-point penalty. Contrary to popular belief, driving too slowly on highways isn't necessarily safer. When multiple vehicles travel at low speeds, overall traffic flow slows down. Therefore, establishing minimum speed limits helps minimize speed differentials between vehicles, encouraging consistent speeds among consecutive cars. This reduces unnecessary lane changes and overtaking, ultimately decreasing accident risks. The minimum speed regulation ensures smooth and safe highway operations. Drivers must strictly adhere to lane discipline on highways. Expressways are divided into bidirectional configurations with 4, 6, or 8 lanes. Motorists must maintain their designated lanes without crossing dividing lines or making unauthorized lane changes, and should never straddle lane markings.
