What is the speed limit on highways?
2 Answers
The speed limit is 110 km/h, and there are also speed limits of 80 km/h, such as in tunnel sections and mountainous highways, as well as a speed limit of 120 km/h, but these are mostly on multi-lane highways in plain areas. Below are the penalties for speeding based on relevant laws and regulations: According to the actual traffic conditions on highways and the functionality of speed monitoring equipment, the Traffic Police Corps of the Public Security Department stipulates that speed monitoring equipment captures violations based on vehicle-type-specific speed limits, namely: 1. Small passenger vehicles exceeding 120 km/h (excluding 120 km/h) on Hainan Province highways will be automatically captured by speed monitoring equipment; 2. Other vehicles besides small passenger vehicles exceeding 100 km/h (excluding 100 km/h) on Hainan Province highways will be automatically captured by speed monitoring equipment. 3. Small passenger vehicles speeding within 50% (180 km/h) on highways will be fined 200 yuan, while severe traffic violations exceeding 50% (over 180 km/h) will be fined 1,000 yuan and may also result in license revocation; 5. Other vehicles besides small passenger vehicles speeding within 50% (150 km/h) on highways will be fined 200 yuan, while severe traffic violations exceeding 50% (over 150 km/h) will be fined 1,000 yuan and may also result in license revocation.
I've been driving on highways for many years, where the general speed limit is 120 kilometers per hour, but I've noticed many people secretly exceed to around 130. In areas with dense cameras, it's best to keep between 110 to 115, which is both steady and avoids fines. In bad weather conditions like rain or fog, I usually slow down to below 100 and maintain a safe distance. Vehicle maintenance is also crucial, as the condition of brakes and tires directly affects stability at high speeds. On long drives, taking proper breaks is essential—driving tired is dangerous no matter the speed. In short, respecting the rules protects you, and arriving a bit later by driving slower is always better.
