What is the speed limit on highways during rainy days?

[LeAaron]

If the visibility on the highway during rainy days is less than 200 meters, the speed should not exceed 60 km/h. Here are some precautions for driving on highways: Control your driving speed: Highways have speed limits, so avoid exceeding or going below the limit to prevent penalties. Maintain a safe distance: The safe following distance should vary based on driving speed, weather, and road conditions. The faster the speed, the greater the distance should be. Driving too close to the vehicle in front can easily lead to rear-end collisions. Avoid illegal parking: If you need to stop temporarily due to a malfunction while driving on the highway, turn on the right turn signal in advance, leave the driving lane, and stop in the emergency parking zone.

When driving on the highway in rainy weather, it's indeed necessary to reduce the speed limit. Under normal weather conditions, the highway speed limit is 120 kilometers per hour, but during heavy rain, I usually slow down to around 80 kilometers. Why? Rain makes the road slippery, reduces tire grip, and significantly increases braking distance compared to sunny days. Once when I was driving back to my hometown in a heavy downpour, I was going too fast and almost rear-ended another car. Since then, I've been extra cautious. The actual speed limit depends on highway signs—some sections may indicate 60 or 80 kilometers, so you need to stay alert. Rainy days also bring fog and water accumulation, reducing visibility, so driving too fast becomes unsafe. My advice is to slow down, use windshield wipers frequently, maintain a safe distance, and avoid rushing. When family is in the car, drive even more steadily—safety comes first. Don't risk it just to save a few minutes; the consequences of a highway accident are too severe.

On rainy days, I usually keep my speed below 80 km/h on the highway, while on sunny days I might go up to 120 km/h, but rainy conditions are different. With more water on the road, tires tend to skid, and you have to be extra careful when braking. The last time I drove on the highway in the rain, I saw a car lose control because it was going too fast—it was terrifying. The actual speed limit depends on specific signs, as some sections may have temporary restrictions of 60 or 80 km/h. Visibility is poor in the rain, and the taillights of the car ahead can appear blurry, so driving slower gives you more time to react. I recommend turning on your fog lights and hazard lights to alert drivers behind you, and avoid relying on cruise control. Slowing down reduces the risk of accidents—don’t rush when driving in the rain; safety is far more important than time.

On rainy days, the speed limit on highways is usually reduced to 80 kilometers per hour for a simple reason: rain makes the road surface more slippery and increases braking distance. The normal speed limit of 120 km/h is too fast in rainy conditions, so driving at 80 km/h or slower is much safer. Always pay attention to the road conditions and signs, and avoid blindly following other vehicles. Rainy weather also limits visibility on highways, so driving slower allows more time to react. From a safety perspective, driving at a reduced speed minimizes the risk of skidding on wet roads. My driving experience tells me that adhering to such speed limits protects both yourself and others—never speed.
