What is the speed limit at a county town intersection?

If there is a speed limit sign, drive according to the speed limit indicated on the sign. If there is no speed limit sign, the traffic law stipulates that the speed limit for left turns at intersections is 30 kilometers per hour. Penalties for speeding: If the speed limit is 80 and you drive at 85, it is considered speeding, but since it does not exceed 10% of the speed limit, there will be no fine or penalty points, but a warning may be issued. If the speed exceeds 10% to 20% of the limit, a fine and 3 penalty points will be imposed. If the speed exceeds 20% to 50% of the limit, a fine and 6 penalty points will be imposed. Legal basis: Article 86 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China."

After driving for so many years, I'm especially cautious about speed at county crossroads. According to national regulations, the maximum speed on urban roads with centerlines is 50 km/h, and 30 km/h without centerlines. But in reality, I always reduce my speed to 20-30 km when crossing intersections. Recently, I witnessed an accident where a car traveling at the speed limit of 50 km/h couldn't brake in time when an electric bike suddenly darted out. So I've developed the habit of easing off the throttle 50 meters before zebra crossings to observe the surroundings. Many county intersections now have smart cameras specifically capturing vehicles that fail to yield to pedestrians. News reports say such accident rates have dropped by about 15%. Dash cams can prove you're following the rules, and I think this investment is particularly worthwhile.

I live in the old town area of a county city, passing through over a dozen intersections daily on my electric scooter. From my observations, the speed limit signs at intersections are mostly set at 30 km/h, but many people don't pay attention. During morning rush hours, I often see private cars zipping through intersections at over 40 km/h - the wind they create could blow away a child's backpack. Actually, there are regulations for electric scooters at intersections too, with the speed limit not exceeding 15 km/h. I've developed a habit: starting to slow down when I'm three utility poles away from an intersection, while repeatedly checking my left and right mirrors. This not only ensures safety but also helps avoid being sideswiped by suddenly turning tricycles. I remember last year when traffic police conducted speed checks at the Renmin Road crossing - they caught over 20 speeders in just one morning.

As a driving instructor, I teach new students a mantra for crossing county town intersections: look twice, slow down, then proceed. Although the law allows driving at 50 km/h on roads with center lines, in practice I always have students limit their speed to under 30 km/h. Last week while training a student, we encountered a classic scenario at the intersection of Wenhua Road: a bus on the right blocked our view, and suddenly a student dashed out running to catch the bus. Fortunately, we were only going 25 km/h and stopped smoothly. I recommend novice drivers turn on the electronic dog function in their phone navigation—Gaode Maps can now announce speed traps 300 meters in advance. Remember, for every 5 km/h increase in speed at intersections, the braking distance increases by half a car length.
