What is the safe following distance in urban areas?

[AlexDella]

In urban areas, the safe following distance should not be less than 50 meters. Below is an introduction regarding following distance: 1. Introduction: According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," when a motor vehicle is driving on a highway at a speed exceeding 100 kilometers per hour, the safe following distance should be more than 100 meters; when the speed is below 100 kilometers per hour, the minimum safe following distance should not be less than 60 meters. 2. Considerations: This determination method already takes into account the driving speeds of both the front and rear vehicles, making it simple and practical. The faster the speed, the longer the distance covered in three seconds. If the road ahead has good visibility and the driving conditions of several vehicles in front can be seen, the three-second following distance can be flexibly adjusted and appropriately shortened. 3. Electronic monitoring: On May 1, 2018, Tianjin implemented the first batch of electronic monitoring systems nationwide to capture violations of "failing to maintain a safe following distance."
