What is the speed limit when passing through traffic lights?

[Gomez]

New traffic regulations do not explicitly specify the maximum speed when passing through intersections. When crossing traffic lights, the speed should not exceed the speed limit of that road section. Here are some precautions for crossing traffic lights: Follow traffic signals: Drive according to the green and red light signals, do not run red lights, and avoid violating traffic rules. Look both ways: Even when driving according to the signals, always look left and right to prevent collisions with illegally moving vehicles and avoid traffic accidents. Wait in order: During a red light, wait in the designated waiting area and avoid vehicle turning lanes. Pay attention to vehicles ahead: Be mindful of the vehicles in front, and proceed orderly through the traffic lights after the leading vehicle starts moving to prevent congestion and traffic jams.

On my daily commute to and from work, traffic light intersections are a common scene. The speed must never exceed the value indicated by the road speed limit signs, which is generally around 30 to 50 kilometers per hour in the city, depending on the intersection setup. I always slow down in advance because speeding not only increases the risk of rear-end collisions but may also lead to running a red light if braking is too late, resulting in a costly ticket. More importantly, when pedestrians or cyclists suddenly appear, high speeds make it impossible to avoid them. I've witnessed several accidents caused by drivers being in too much of a hurry. Developing the habit of checking road signs and countdown timers can save both peace of mind and money. Safe driving not only protects oneself but is also a responsibility to others. In short, traffic lights are not racing points but speed bumps; keeping a calm mindset ensures no problems arise.

When I was learning to drive, the instructor repeatedly emphasized controlling speed at traffic lights, usually adhering to the road speed limit and not exceeding 50 kilometers per hour. I was also curious why it was so strict at the time, but after a few attempts, I found that driving at high speeds made the car unstable and prone to skidding out of the lane and hitting pedestrians. Now when I drive, I keep this in mind: easing off the throttle early and gently applying the brakes to slow down. A related topic is the need for extra caution in bad weather, such as rainy days when the road is slippery, and even a slightly higher speed can lead to loss of control. After developing this habit, I’ve avoided several minor scrapes. Night driving requires even slower speeds due to poor visibility from headlights, as reckless acceleration carries significant risks. Treating traffic lights as safety reminders makes the journey much more reassuring.

At traffic light intersections, the speed limit generally follows the posted signs, and should not exceed 50km/h in urban areas. As a parent, I prioritize this when taking my child out, as children might run around unexpectedly, and high speeds could lead to accidents before I can react. Experience has taught me that it's better to be slow than hasty, especially during peak hours when traffic is heavy—avoid rushing. Slowing down also reduces fuel consumption and wear, which is both eco-friendly and cost-effective. Remember, intersections are not racetracks—safety comes first.

Having driven for many years, I understand that when passing through traffic lights, one must adhere to the speed limit of the road section, which is typically 30-50 km/h in urban areas. Different intersections vary greatly, such as lower speed limits in school zones, so it's essential to pay attention to warning signs. Speeding can lead to rear-end collisions or fines, and I've seen impatient novices cause accidents. Related issues include maintaining sufficient braking distance to allow ample reaction time and reducing speed further in rainy conditions. Developing this habit ensures a safe journey.
