What is the speed limit for the 4 lanes on the highway?

On the highway: The first lane: 100-120 km/h (usually dedicated to passenger cars); The second lane: 80-100 km/h; The third lane: 60-100 km/h; The fourth lane: emergency lane. The highway should clearly mark the speed limit for each lane. The maximum speed should not exceed 120 km/h, and the minimum speed should not be lower than 60 km/h. Below are some precautions for driving on the highway: Check the vehicle and plan the route before driving: Before entering the highway, the driver must carefully inspect the overall condition of the vehicle, including whether various fluids are sufficient, whether the battery and lights are functioning properly, whether the brakes are reliable, and whether the tire condition and pressure are normal, etc., to be fully prepared. Try to stay away from large vehicles as much as possible: Many rear-end collisions on the highway are caused by the failure of large trucks to brake in time, often resulting in severe casualties. Additionally, large trucks have massive bodies and large blind spots in their driving vision, making them like "giant beasts" when driving on the highway.
I've been driving on highways for many years. On four-lane highways, the speed limit is generally 120 kilometers per hour, which is the national standard. Regardless of the number of lanes, this limit remains largely unchanged. From my personal experience, more lanes actually require more caution: the two right lanes are usually slow lanes with more large vehicles, while the left two lanes serve as overtaking lanes with higher speeds, but you shouldn’t occupy them for too long. In reality, when the weather is good and traffic is light, you can go a bit faster. But during rain, snow, or peak hours when the road is packed, driving at 80 km/h is already decent. Always pay attention to road signs—speed limits can drop to 100 or even lower in certain sections, like mountainous areas or bridges and tunnels. When changing lanes to overtake, always use your turn signal and maintain a safe distance—a two-second gap is ideal. I’ve personally found this helps avoid rear-end collisions. Overall, the rules are designed for safety, so don’t just focus on speeding.
