What is the speed limit for buses on highways?

For small passenger vehicles on highways, the minimum speed is generally 60 km/h if there are no special speed limit signs. After entering the highway via the ramp, drivers should accelerate to 60 km/h as soon as possible. Highway minimum speed limit regulations: Article 78 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law" states: Vehicles on highways should drive in designated lanes, with a maximum speed not exceeding 120 km/h and a minimum speed not less than 60 km/h. Small passenger vehicles on highways must not exceed 120 km/h, other motor vehicles must not exceed 100 km/h, and motorcycles must not exceed 80 km/h. If there are two lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the left lane is 100 km/h; if there are three or more lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the leftmost lane is 110 km/h, and the middle lane is 90 km/h. If the speed indicated by road speed limit signs conflicts with the above lane speed regulations, drivers should follow the speed indicated by the road signs. Therefore, the minimum speed on highways is 60 km/h. Highway minimum speed penalty rules: Driving at a speed 20% below the minimum limit on highways will not incur penalties; According to Article 90 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," if a vehicle's speed is more than 20% below the stipulated minimum speed under normal driving conditions, the driver will be fined 200 RMB and receive 3 penalty points; No penalties will be imposed if the vehicle's speed is below the minimum limit due to road construction, traffic congestion, or adverse weather conditions like rain or fog. According to relevant provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law," driving too slowly on highways is punishable. On highways, vehicles moving too slowly can easily cause rear-end collisions. Article 78 of China's "Road Traffic Safety Law" clearly states that highway speeds should be marked by lanes, with a maximum speed not exceeding 120 km/h and a minimum speed not less than 60 km/h. This is also why low-speed vehicles like tricycles and farm vehicles, with maximum speeds not exceeding 60 km/h, are not allowed on highways.
