What is the speed limit for highway curves?
1 Answers
On highways, the speed limit for normal curves is generally 40-50 km/h. When entering a branch road from the main line, turn on the turn signal 30-50 meters in advance, slow down, and merge into the lane. For a right turn, stay close to the right side of the road; for a left turn, stay near the centerline. Below are precautions for driving on highways: 1. Drive in the designated lane: Highway lanes are clearly marked, with dedicated lanes for large vehicles, small vehicles, etc. When overtaking, return to your original lane promptly after completing the maneuver and avoid occupying other lanes for extended periods. Additionally, emergency lanes should not be occupied without special reasons. 2. Maintain a safe speed and avoid speeding: The dangers of speeding are well-known, as it can lead to irreversible consequences, whether on local roads or highways. 3. Maintain a safe following distance: Under normal conditions with dry roads and good braking, the following distance (in meters) should not be less than the speed (in km/h). For example, at 80 km/h, maintain at least 80 meters; at 100 km/h, maintain at least 100 meters. Always pay attention to roadside distance markers. In rainy, foggy, snowy, or wet road conditions, increase the following distance by at least double. 4. Observe traffic signs: Always be aware of roadside and overhead signs and markings, and drive slightly to the right to avoid crossing the right lane divider, allowing sufficient lateral space for overtaking vehicles. 5. Do not occupy emergency lanes unnecessarily: Traffic accidents can happen on highways. If other vehicles cause a blockage, avoid occupying emergency lanes, as this may hinder rescue operations. 6. Avoid fatigue driving and take timely breaks: Fatigue driving is extremely dangerous on highways, as it reduces reaction time and makes it difficult to handle emergencies properly.
