What is the speed limit for urban roads with center lines?
2 Answers
The speed of motor vehicles on the road shall not exceed the speed indicated by the speed limit signs or markings. On roads without speed limit signs or markings, motor vehicles shall not exceed the following maximum speeds: 1. With center line: When driving on urban roads with center lines, the maximum speed shall not exceed 40 kilometers per hour. 2. Without center line: On roads without center lines, the speed limit for urban roads is 30 kilometers per hour, and for highways is 40 kilometers per hour. 3. Single lane: On roads with only one motor vehicle lane in the same direction, the speed limit for urban roads is 50 kilometers per hour, and for highways is 70 kilometers per hour.
I usually drive to and from work, often encountering urban road sections with center lines, where the speed limit is generally 60 kilometers per hour. I remember last summer, I was driving on a wide road with clear center lines and a speed limit sign showing 60, but I got distracted and drove at 70, resulting in a fine from a speed camera. From experience, the 60 km/h speed limit balances safety and efficiency, as these sections have heavy traffic and many pedestrians, such as near schools or commercial areas, where higher speeds can easily lead to rear-end collisions or pedestrian accidents. I recommend using navigation apps to check speed limits in advance, getting into the habit of checking the speedometer, and slowing down to below 50 in rainy weather or at night for safety. Speeding isn't just about fines; it also affects tire wear and fuel consumption. Safe driving ensures peace of mind for everyone.
