What is the speed limit on Jiaozhou Bay Bridge?
2 Answers
Jiaozhou Bay Bridge has a speed limit of 80 km/h, with some sections limited to 100 km/h. Here are the relevant details: Official speed increase: The maximum speed limit on Jiaozhou Bay Bridge was previously 80 km/h, which many drivers considered too low. Recently, some sections of the bridge have officially increased their speed limits. Using the Hongdao Interchange as the boundary, the eastern sections remain at 80 km/h, while the western sections have been adjusted from 80 km/h to 100 km/h for passenger vehicles. Important notes: This is the first speed increase since Jiaozhou Bay Bridge opened to traffic two years ago. Currently, only certain sections of the bridge have increased speed limits, not the entire length. Traffic police have installed speed limit signs, and drivers must pay attention to these signs to avoid speeding. In addition to adjusting speed limits, this change also affects lanes for large vehicles. Jiaozhou Bay Bridge has three lanes in each direction, and large vehicles are prohibited from using the leftmost lane.
The speed limit on the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge is set at 80 kilometers per hour. I remember paying special attention to the signs when I drove there last month. As a driver who frequently travels for business, I find this speed quite appropriate because the bridge is windy, and in case of rain or fog, high-speed driving increases the risk of skidding. Many novice drivers tend to overlook this. I recommend maintaining a speed of around 70 on the bridge, leaving a buffer distance to avoid rear-end collisions, and also paying attention to navigation updates for speed limit reminders to avoid being caught by speed cameras and fined. In terms of safety, this bridge connects Qingdao's urban area with the industrial zone, and the traffic is heavy. Speeding not only results in a 200 yuan fine but could also lead to serious accidents. Regularly checking your tires can help you drive more steadily on the bridge.
