What is the speed limit for highway exit ramps?
2 Answers
Ramp speed is generally required to be below 40km/h, which is a safe driving speed determined based on the turning radius of the ramp. Below is more relevant information: 1. 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 before the ramp entrance. Avoid "waiting until the last minute" and stopping to check only when you reach the ramp entrance; if you miss it, keep going forward. If you are too close or have already passed the ramp entrance, do not brake suddenly or reverse, as vehicles behind you traveling at high speed may not have enough time to avoid a collision, leading to a rear-end accident. 2. Things to note when entering a ramp: On the ramp, accelerate quickly but do not exceed the speed limit indicated by the signs. Overtaking, U-turns, stopping, and reversing are prohibited on ramps. After entering the highway acceleration lane from the ramp, you may or may not turn on the left turn signal, but quickly increase your speed to above 60 km/h, carefully observe the traffic conditions in the lane, and choose the right moment to merge into the main traffic lane.
After driving for so many years, I've noticed that the speed limit on highway exit ramps is typically between 30 to 60 kilometers per hour, with 40 or 50 being the most common. Why is it set this way? Mainly because the turns are sharp, and if you go too fast, the car can easily lose control and skid, leading to accidents. I've had a few close calls myself, all because I didn't slow down in advance. I remember one rainy day when the ramp was slippery—even at 40 km/h, I felt unstable and had to slow down quickly to stay safe. My advice to new drivers: pay attention to road signs and slow down early, follow the rules to avoid speeding tickets, always prioritize safety, and don't neglect car maintenance—regularly check your tires and brakes.
