What is the speed limit for entering a highway ramp?
1 Answers
On highways, the maximum speed on ramps must not exceed 120 kilometers per hour, and the minimum speed must not be lower than 60 kilometers per hour. Precautions for driving on highway ramps: Pay attention to road signs along the way. On highways, be sure to notice the road signs set up in advance near ramp entrances. Avoid 'digging a well when thirsty'—do not stop to check directions only when you reach the ramp entrance. If you miss the exit, continue forward. If you are too close to or have already passed the ramp entrance, do not brake suddenly or reverse, as vehicles behind you may be traveling at high speeds and unable to avoid a collision, leading to a rear-end accident. Use the 'auxiliary lane' when entering or exiting ramps. Since most ramps have a speed limit of 60 kilometers per hour, highways are equipped with an 'auxiliary lane'—either a deceleration or acceleration lane—alongside the main lanes to allow for safe speed adjustments. These lanes are separated from the main lanes by short, thick, and highly visible white markings. Things to note when exiting a ramp: When exiting a highway, change to the right lane in a timely manner. About 500 meters before the exit, turn on the right turn signal, adjust your speed appropriately, and smoothly enter the deceleration lane. On the ramp, be mindful of merging vehicles from other lanes, yield appropriately, and avoid competing for the right of way.
