What is the speed limit on the Ma'an Expressway?
2 Answers
The speed limit on the Ma'an Expressway is 80 km/h. When driving on the expressway, it is important to avoid slow driving in the fast lane, maintain a safe distance, and stay away from large vehicles. Below is some relevant information about expressways: 1. Definition of expressway: An expressway, also known as a freeway, is a highway designed specifically for high-speed vehicle travel. 2. Advantages of expressways: They increase driving speed, saving travel time; enhance traffic efficiency; reduce transportation costs; decrease traffic accidents; and save land resources (single-lane). 3. Disadvantages of expressways: They are expensive to construct, with costs ranging from tens of millions to hundreds of millions per kilometer; they impact the environment; construction is lengthy, as the overall engineering requirements are much higher than those for regular roads; and in the event of a traffic accident, the consequences are often more severe, and traffic jams are harder to disperse.
I remember last time driving on the Ma'an Expressway, the speed limit was clearly marked at 120 kilometers per hour, but it varies in different sections, such as dropping to 100 kilometers per hour in mountainous areas or tunnels. After driving for so many years, I find speeding extremely dangerous, especially at night with poor visibility and rain, when it's easy to skid or rear-end. It's best to follow the navigation, which alerts you to speed limit changes and shows camera locations. Maintaining a safe distance and regularly checking tire pressure are also important. Don't take risks just to save time—fines are minor compared to personal safety. Before every highway trip, I make it a habit to check a traffic app for real-time updates, which gives me peace of mind. I recommend new drivers practice driving at slower speeds first and accelerate only after getting comfortable.
