What is the normal speed for a car?
2 Answers
Speed of 80-100km/h is normal, here are the details: 1. Speed: The driving speed of a car should comply with the speed limit standards of the road. In China, the speed limit on most highways is 120 km/h; the speed limit on national highways is generally 80-60 km/h; the speed limit on urban streets is usually 40-30 km/h. 2. Regulations: Article 78 of traffic regulations states that highways should indicate lane speeds, with the maximum speed not exceeding 120 km/h and the minimum speed not lower than 60 km/h. For roads with 2 lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed of the left lane is 100 km/h; for roads with 3 or more lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed of the leftmost lane is 110 km/h, and the minimum speed of the middle lane is 90 km/h.
When it comes to what speed is considered normal, it largely depends on where you're driving. For my daily commute in the city, maintaining a speed between 30 to 50 kilometers per hour on urban roads is generally safer, as it accommodates frequent traffic lights and heavy pedestrian flow. Never exceed the speed limit, especially in school zones or residential areas where speed limit signs are clearly posted. I've witnessed too many accidents caused by rear-end collisions due to excessive speed. Additionally, during peak traffic congestion, reducing speed to around 20 is quite normal—patience is key to avoid sudden braking. Keeping an appropriate speed not only saves fuel but also ensures punctual arrival at the office. Regular checks on tire pressure and brakes are also crucial, as safety always comes first.
