What is the speed limit for highway curves?
1 Answers
When driving on highways, vehicles need to observe speed limits on curves, typically ranging from 40-50 km/h for normal curves. When transitioning from a main lane to a branch lane, turn signals should be activated 30-50 meters in advance, and speed should be reduced while merging. 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 designated lanes: Highway lanes are clearly marked, with dedicated lanes for large vehicles, small vehicles, etc. After overtaking, promptly return to your original lane and avoid occupying other lanes for extended periods. Emergency lanes should not be occupied without valid reasons. 2. Maintain safe speeds and avoid speeding: The dangers of speeding are well-known, leading to irreversible consequences both on local roads and highways. 3. Maintain safe following distances: Under normal conditions with dry roads and good brakes, 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, at least 100 meters. Always observe roadside distance markers. In rain, fog, snow, or wet road conditions, double the following distance. 4. Pay attention to traffic signs: Continuously watch for roadside and overhead signs and markings, and drive slightly to the right to avoid crossing the right lane divider, ensuring sufficient space for overtaking vehicles. 5. Avoid occupying emergency lanes during accidents: Traffic incidents can occur on highways. If an accident blocks the road, do not occupy the emergency lane, as this may hinder rescue operations. 6. Prevent fatigue driving and take timely breaks: Fatigue driving is extremely dangerous on highways, as it reduces reaction time and impairs the ability to handle emergencies.
