What is the speed limit for urban roads with center lines?
2 Answers
When driving on the road, motor vehicles shall not exceed the speed indicated by speed limit signs or markings. On roads without speed limit signs or markings, motor vehicles shall not exceed the following maximum speeds: 1. When driving on urban roads with center lines, the maximum speed shall not exceed 40 kilometers per hour; 2. On roads without center lines, the speed limit is 30 kilometers per hour for urban roads and 40 kilometers per hour for highways; 3. On roads with only one motor vehicle lane in the same direction, the speed limit is 50 kilometers per hour for urban roads and 70 kilometers per hour for highways.
I've been driving for many years, and the speed limit on urban roads with center lines is generally 50 kilometers per hour. This rule is quite practical. In city centers where there's high density of both vehicles and pedestrians, driving too fast can easily lead to accidents. A speed of 50 gives drivers enough reaction time to brake, especially in areas with pedestrians or intersections. I've driven in various road conditions myself, such as during rush hour, and maintaining a speed of 50 actually helps prevent traffic jams and reduces the risk of rear-end collisions. New drivers often tend to overlook the speed limit, but adhering to it can help avoid fines and dangers. Additionally, in bad weather, even if the speed limit is 50, I always lower my speed a bit more for safety. Developing the habit of checking roadside signs is crucial, as some areas like school zones may have reduced limits to 40. Overall, safety comes first.
