What is the speed limit on the Meilong Expressway?
2 Answers
The speed limit on the Meilong Expressway is 80 kilometers per hour. Below is an introduction to speed-related content: 1. Maximum speed test: The maximum speed refers to the highest driving speed a vehicle can achieve under windless conditions on a level, good-quality asphalt or concrete road surface. According to Chinese regulations, the last 500 meters of a 1.6-kilometer test section are used as the testing area for maximum speed, with four round trips conducted, and the average value is taken. 2. Restricted maximum speed: The maximum speed is different from the theoretical top speed (which refers to the best performance the engine can achieve under optimal conditions, limited to theory). For some high-performance vehicles, manufacturers often use technical means (such as electronic speed limit functions) to restrict the vehicle's maximum speed to protect the engine or comply with traffic regulations.
As a veteran driver who frequently travels long distances, I often drive on the Meilong Expressway. The main speed limit is generally 120 kilometers per hour, but it often drops to 100 in mountainous areas or near tunnel entrances, so you need to watch for changes in road signs. I remember once driving from Meizhou to Longchuan, where navigation apps like Gaode Maps would alert me to speed limit changes in different sections, especially advising proactive slowing down on curves or during rainy and foggy conditions. Vehicle condition is crucial: worn tires or poorly adjusted brakes can affect handling, so regular maintenance is essential. New drivers, take note: speeding fines are steep, and there are many cameras, so controlling your speed can save you trouble. Safety first—don’t take risks to save time, and always leave enough reaction distance.
