What is the speed limit in residential areas?
1 Answers
The speed limit in residential areas is 20 kilometers per hour. Reasons for the speed limit: Residential areas have high pedestrian traffic, and excessive speed can easily lead to traffic accidents, resulting in injuries or fatalities to pedestrians. Benefits of the speed limit: Speed limits for motor vehicles in residential areas are primarily set to protect pedestrians, as these areas have high foot traffic and unpredictable movement patterns. For example, students may cross the road in groups, and children may run around unpredictably. This requires motor vehicles to be able to stop within a very short distance. Specific speed limit requirements: In residential areas, the speed limit is generally set at 5 kilometers per hour. For larger main roads within the community, the limit may sometimes be set at 20 kilometers per hour. Roads within residential areas are not regulated by traffic laws, so there are no explicit speed limit regulations in traffic laws for these roads. Roads within residential areas are collectively owned by all property owners, and the speed limit should be determined by the property management company hired by the community. If property owners have questions about the speed limit, they can directly or through the homeowners' association raise their concerns with the property management company.
