What is the speeding limit on regular roads?
2 Answers
Speeding on regular roads is defined as exceeding the speed limit by 30 kilometers per hour. Consequences of speeding: For small vehicles, speeding less than 20% results in a warning; speeding between 20% and 50% incurs a fine of 200 yuan and 3 demerit points; speeding between 50% and 70% results in a fine of 1000 yuan and 6 demerit points or possible revocation of the motor vehicle driving license; speeding over 70% leads to a fine of 2000 yuan and mandatory revocation of the motor vehicle driving license. For large vehicles, on roads with a speed limit of 70 km/h, no fine is imposed for speeds below 90 km/h; on roads with a speed limit of 80 km/h, no fine is imposed for speeds below 100 km/h. Conditions where exceeding 30 km/h is not allowed: When entering or exiting non-motorized lanes, passing through railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads, or narrow bridges. When making U-turns, turning, or descending steep slopes. In conditions of fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail with visibility less than 50 meters. When driving on icy or muddy roads. When towing a malfunctioning motor vehicle.
I've been driving for over twenty years. On regular urban roads, the speed limit is usually 50 kilometers per hour, while in suburban areas it might go up to 60 or 70. Speeding means going even slightly faster than these limits, depending on local regulations. For instance, in city areas, exceeding 50 is considered speeding, which can easily get you caught by speed cameras or fined by police. Speeding is quite dangerous because regular roads have mixed traffic and pedestrians. In case of sudden incidents, insufficient braking distance can easily lead to accidents. I remember once driving slightly over the limit on a rainy day and almost rear-ending another car – that's when I learned to strictly obey speed limits. Some wide, less crowded roads tempt drivers to speed, but it's important to resist the urge as penalty points and fines aren't worth it. Always pay attention to road signs and make checking your speedometer a habit. Speeding doesn't just cost money – it can also affect your insurance. Safety should always come first when driving; never risk it just to save time.
