What is the speed limit on the Jishuang Expressway?
1 Answers
The speed limit on the Jishuang Expressway is 120km/h. Expressways, also known as highways, are roads specifically designed for high-speed vehicle travel. The definition of an expressway varies across different countries, regions, historical periods, and academic fields. According to China's 'Technical Standards for Highway Engineering,' an expressway is a multi-lane road exclusively for motor vehicles, featuring separated directions and lanes, with full access control. Drive in the designated lanes: Expressway lanes are clearly marked, with dedicated lanes for large vehicles, small vehicles, etc. When overtaking, if you occupy another lane, return to your appropriate lane promptly after completing the maneuver. Do not occupy other lanes for extended periods. Additionally, the emergency lane should not be occupied for non-emergency reasons. Maintain a safe speed and avoid speeding: The dangers of speeding are well-known, as it can lead to irreversible consequences, whether on local roads or expressways. Maintain a safe following distance: Under normal conditions, such as dry pavement and good braking, the following distance (in meters) should not be less than the speed (in km/h). For example, at 80km/h, the distance should be at least 80m; at 100km/h, at least 100m. Always pay attention to roadside distance markers. In rainy, foggy, snowy, or wet road conditions, the following distance should be doubled. Pay attention to traffic signs: While driving, always observe roadside and overhead signs and markings. Stay appropriately to the right to avoid crossing the right lane divider, ensuring sufficient lateral space for vehicles overtaking from behind. Do not arbitrarily occupy the emergency lane in case of an accident: Traffic accidents are inevitable on expressways. If other vehicles cause an accident and block the travel lane, do not occupy the emergency lane, as this may hinder rescue vehicles from performing their duties. Avoid fatigued driving and take timely breaks: Fatigued driving is extremely dangerous on expressways. When fatigued, a driver's reaction time slows, making it difficult to respond correctly to sudden situations.
