What is the speed limit on roads without a center line?
2 Answers
When driving a motor vehicle on urban roads without a center line, the maximum speed must not exceed 30 kilometers per hour. According to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Do not exceed speed limit signs: 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: On roads without a center line, urban roads have a speed limit of 30 kilometers per hour, while highways have a speed limit of 40 kilometers per hour. On roads with only one motor vehicle lane in the same direction, urban roads have a speed limit of 50 kilometers per hour, while highways have a speed limit of 70 kilometers per hour. Maximum driving speed: When encountering any of the following conditions, the maximum speed of a motor vehicle must not exceed 30 kilometers per hour, and for tractors, battery-powered vehicles, and wheeled special-purpose machinery, the speed must not exceed 15 kilometers per hour: when entering or exiting non-motorized lanes, passing through railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads, or narrow bridges; when making U-turns, turning, or descending steep slopes.
After driving for so many years, I remember that on roads without a center line, it's generally safer to keep the speed around 30 kilometers per hour. Especially on narrow city streets or rural country roads, where the lanes are tight and there are many vehicles, driving too fast can easily lead to accidents. Once, I was driving on a village road without a center line and thought I could go 50 kilometers per hour, but suddenly a dog ran out in front of me, and I almost hit it, which gave me a real scare. Since then, I always slow down to 20-30 kilometers per hour on such roads and make sure to watch out for pedestrians or bicycles on the side. Remember, safety comes first, and it's more important than anything else. Also, pay attention to speed limit signs at intersections to avoid fines. Developing patient driving habits is key—taking it slow ensures stability.
