What is the speed limit for vehicles according to national standards?

Highways should indicate the speed limits for lanes, with the maximum speed not exceeding 120 kilometers per hour and the minimum speed not less than 60 kilometers per hour. Reasons for speed limits: Why are there maximum and minimum speed limits for motor vehicles on highways? This is primarily based on the design speed of the highway. Statistics on highway traffic accidents show that speeding is one of the main causes of traffic accidents, accounting for about 55% of all traffic accidents. Speed regulations on other roads: According to regulations, motor vehicles must not exceed the speed indicated by speed limit signs or markings on the road. On roads without speed limit signs or markings, motor vehicles must not exceed the following maximum speeds: (1) On roads without a central dividing line, the speed limit is 30 kilometers per hour in urban areas and 40 kilometers per hour on highways; (2) On roads with only one lane in the same direction, the speed limit is 50 kilometers per hour in urban areas and 70 kilometers per hour on highways. When driving on the road, strictly adhere to the regulations and avoid speeding.
I usually commute by riding an electric bicycle, with the maximum speed capped at 25 kilometers per hour as per national mandatory regulations, primarily for safety reasons. Speeds exceeding 30 kilometers per hour can easily lead to accidents or collisions, especially in crowded urban areas with heavy traffic. I once tried accelerating too quickly and almost had an accident because I couldn't brake in time. New bikes come with speed limiters that trigger alarms or force deceleration if the speed is exceeded. They also must be equipped with pedals so you can still ride manually if the battery runs out. Although adhering to this speed limit might feel slow, I've grown accustomed to it and find it more reassuring, plus it reduces maintenance efforts. Occasionally, I hear people complain about the speed being too slow, but I believe safety comes first—seeing numerous traffic accidents on the road makes me realize how necessary this standard is. Regularly checking tire pressure and brakes can also help maintain a steadier speed.
