What is the speed limit on the Erguang Expressway?

[OMolly]

The speed limit on the Erguang Expressway has been adjusted from the previous maximum of 100 kilometers per hour to 110 kilometers per hour: Starting from the Hanyi Interchange on the Erguang Expressway, heading south to the starting point of the Jingzhou City Viaduct at the 1757-kilometer mark, the original maximum speed limit on this section was 80 kilometers per hour, and many drivers received speeding violations here. From October 1, 2014, the speed limit on this section has been increased to 100 kilometers per hour. For the Jingzhou Yangtze River Bridge section of the Erguang Expressway, starting from October 1, the overall speed limit will be reduced. The current speed limit of 80 kilometers per hour for passenger vehicles in the fast lane and 60 kilometers per hour in the travel lane will be uniformly reduced to 60 kilometers per hour. After passing the southern end of the Jingzhou Yangtze River Bridge, up to the Dongyuemiao Provincial Checkpoint on the Erguang Expressway, which marks the end of the Hubei section of the Erguang Expressway, the speed limit remains unchanged at 100 kilometers per hour.

I just drove on the Er-Guang Expressway, and as a frequent driver on this route, I have to say the speed limits aren't fixed—it depends on which section you're on. Near big cities like the Guangzhou exit, the limit is usually 120 km/h, so passenger cars can go a bit faster. But in mountainous areas or sections with lots of curves, like in Hubei, the signs drop to 100 or even 80 km/h. Different rules apply to different vehicles—trucks are capped at 100 km/h, while passenger cars have more leeway. There are plenty of speed cameras on the expressway, and I often see speed traps, especially near exits and entrances where monitoring is strict. Safety first—driving too fast can easily lead to loss of control. I usually keep my navigation on to alert me to speed limit changes.

As a car owner constantly reminded by my family, I always keep an eye on the speed limit signs when driving on the Erguang Expressway. The maximum speed is generally 120 kilometers per hour, but it drops to around 100 on sections with many curves. A while ago, I drove through an area with heavy rain and fog where the speed limit was reduced to 80, which made me slow down significantly. Smaller cars can go faster, but it depends on road conditions—speed limits are even lower at entrances or in tunnel areas. The speed limits on expressways are designed for safety. Speeding not only risks fines but is also dangerous, so I stick to driving between 100-110, maintaining a safe distance.

As a frequent traveler, I often drive on the Er-Guang Expressway where the speed limit is generally around 120 km/h, but it varies significantly across different sections. The northern flat sections allow for faster driving, while the speed limit drops below 100 km/h in the mountainous southern areas. Watching road signs is the most reliable method, and navigation apps provide real-time alerts, which are quite helpful. During rainy days, it's essential to reduce speed, and extra caution is needed due to the dense monitoring points.
