What is the speed limit at urban traffic lights?
1 Answers
Traffic regulations do not specify a speed limit at traffic light intersections, but they do require drivers to slow down when passing through. The speed should not exceed the posted limit for that road; if the traffic light is at a crossroad or a turn, the speed should not exceed 30 km/h. Typically, the speed ranges between 30 and 60 km/h. Precautions when passing through traffic light intersections: Slow down in advance as you approach the intersection, then observe carefully and proceed at a relatively low speed to ensure safety. Driving at high speed through an intersection increases the risk of collisions with electric vehicles, pedestrians, or taxis. Rules for traffic lights at crossroads: When encountering a red light, vehicles (including bicycles, motorcycles, and electric vehicles) must not proceed straight or turn left but can turn right. When encountering a green light, vehicles can proceed straight or turn left or right (pay special attention to the directional arrows on the traffic light). When the directional light is green, vehicles can proceed in the direction indicated by the arrow on the traffic light. When the directional light is red, vehicles must not proceed in the direction indicated by the arrow. Traffic lights, also known as traffic signal lights, alternate light colors at specified intervals and are typically installed at intersections or other special locations to assign the right of way to drivers and pedestrians, regulating their movement and turns as part of traffic control facilities.
