Generally, the speed limit in urban areas ranges from 30 to 60 kilometers per hour, but it may vary in some cities. When driving in an unfamiliar city, drivers must proceed slowly and pay attention to speed limit signs to avoid being caught speeding by traffic cameras. Urban roads are divided into regular city roads and expressways. The speed limit for regular city roads is typically between 30-60 kilometers per hour, while the maximum speed limit for expressways may be up to 80 kilometers per hour. Drivers should always refer to the posted speed limit signs for specific regulations. According to traffic laws, motor vehicles must not exceed the speed indicated by traffic signs or markings. On roads without speed limit signs or markings, the maximum speed for motor vehicles shall not exceed the following: 1. Roads without a center line: 30 kilometers per hour in urban areas, 40 kilometers per hour on highways; 2. Roads with only one lane in the same direction: 50 kilometers per hour in urban areas, 70 kilometers per hour on highways.

I've been commuting by car for ten years, usually cruising at speeds between 30-60 km/h in the city. During rush hours, hitting 40 km/h is considered good, often forced to stop-and-go by traffic lights. The elevated roads have an 80 km/h speed limit, but actual speed depends on traffic flow – you'll still crawl at snail's pace during jams. Special reminder for new drivers: near schools and hospitals, you must slow down below 30 km/h. Last week I saw a speed camera flash someone – the fine is minor, safety comes first!

Based on 50 rush hour commute tests: Average speed fluctuates between 28-45 km/h on urban roads, with 80% of time below posted limits. Navigation shows my 23km work route takes 50 minutes, averaging just 28 km/h. Rain slows traffic further, doubling braking distances. Remember - never force lane changes at intersections. Saw a 3-car pileup caused by running yellows once.

According to traffic regulations: urban roads without a center line have a speed limit of 30, while four-lane roads generally have a limit of 60, but school zones are 30 at all times. When I volunteered in the community, I conducted speed tests, and 90% of vehicles exceeded the speed limit before zebra crossings. It's advisable to install a heads-up display to monitor speed at all times, especially on rainy days when tire grip decreases—stopping from 40 km/h requires 14 meters.

A friend in the tuning circle conducted a test: a 2.0T car can't fully utilize its performance in the city. During peak hours, the average speed is even slower than that of a shared bike. My dashcam showed it took 38 minutes to cover 14 kilometers. Pay special attention to the 5 km/h speed limit in mall parking lots—last week, a driver sped up to 30 km/h in a garage and hit a pillar, and the insurance didn't cover it. Remember, the speedometer shows 3-5 km/h faster than the actual speed, so don't blindly trust the displayed speed.
