According to Article 78 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law", highways shall indicate the driving speed of lanes, with the maximum speed not exceeding 120 kilometers per hour and the minimum speed not less than 60 kilometers per hour. More extended information is as follows: 1. Overview: Highways, abbreviated as expressways, refer to roads specifically designed for high-speed vehicle travel. Highways have different regulations in different countries, regions, eras, and academic fields. According to China's "Technical Standards for Highway Engineering", highways are multi-lane roads exclusively for vehicles traveling in separate directions and lanes, with full access control. The average annual daily design traffic volume for highways should be more than 15,000 passenger cars, with a design speed of 80 to 120 kilometers per hour. 2. Others: Countries and regions around the world have their own construction standards for highways, without a unified model; there are differences in highway systems between different countries and regions. Some countries and regions include direct trunk roads with partial access control and non-full interchange sections as part of their highway systems.

I remember the last time I drove home on the highway, it was raining and visibility was poor. Everyone was driving below the 120 km/h speed limit. Safety comes first, and the minimum speed is generally set at 60 km/h for a good reason. Traffic rules specify this mainly to prevent drivers from crawling like snails on the highway, causing a chain of congestion behind. Once someone drives too slowly, it can easily lead to rear-end collisions, especially in rainy or foggy conditions. I’ve personally witnessed a situation where a car ahead was moving extremely slowly, nearly causing a multi-vehicle pileup. So, whether you’re a new or experienced driver, it’s important to maintain a minimum speed of 60 km/h, matching the flow of traffic—this ensures both safety and compliance with the law. If you drive below this limit, you might even get caught by speed cameras, resulting in fines and penalty points, which would be a real loss. Overall, paying attention to the minimum speed limit is just as important as the maximum 120 km/h.

On highways, everyone knows the maximum speed limit is 120 km/h, but what about the minimum speed? In my years of driving experience, it's typically 60 km/h. This rule is a magic weapon against traffic jams—just imagine if everyone drove extremely slowly, the road would be paralyzed. When I first bought my car, I used to prefer driving slowly for safety, but once I was pulled over by traffic police on the highway and given a warning—they reminded me that maintaining at least 60 km/h is the real safety. Driving too slowly not only holds others back but can also cause engine carbon buildup, affecting the car's health. I recommend new drivers use cruise control more often—it helps you stay between 60 and 120 km/h, saving fuel and hassle. Remember, highways are fast lanes, not leisure zones—the minimum speed is 60, so don't slack off.

Oh, I remembered this topic when I first got my driver's license. The maximum speed is 120 km/h and the minimum is 60 km/h. Why? My instructor taught me that on highways, traffic flows fast, and driving too slowly can easily cause rear-end collisions, especially behind large trucks. Maintaining a speed above 60 ensures smooth traffic flow and reduces accidents. Personally, I think following this rule is simple—just check the dashboard when driving. Don't be lazy, regularly check tires and brakes for a safer highway drive. Speeds between 60 and 120 km/h are the most reasonable.

As a frequent highway driver, I understand that everyone knows the maximum speed limit is 120 km/h, but many overlook the minimum speed limit of 60 km/h. This rule comes from traffic laws, aiming to balance safety and efficiency. Driving too slow, such as below 60 km/h, can result in fines because it obstructs traffic flow and increases accident risks. When I first started driving, I didn’t know this—once I drove at 50 km/h after exiting a toll booth and got caught—the fine and points really hurt. My advice is to adjust speed based on weather: drive 60-80 km/h in rain or snow, and 90-120 km/h on clear days. Following the minimum speed limit also reduces wear on your car. Regular maintenance helps the engine perform better within this range. Safe driving starts at 60.

Ah, this is a question I often get asked when repairing cars. The maximum speed on highways is 120 km/h, and the minimum is 60 km/h. Driving slower might save fuel? Wrong! Going below 60 km/h can cause the engine RPM to drop too low, potentially leading to carbon buildup and damaging parts over time. I recommend regularly checking fluids and tire pressure, and maintaining a speed above 60 km/h on highways for optimal efficiency. This speed not only prevents traffic congestion but also protects the transmission system. When driving, always pay attention to dashboard warnings and avoid dropping below 60 km/h. Combined with the 120 km/h upper limit, this ensures a smooth and safe journey. Learning more car maintenance tips can help avoid minor issues.
