What speed is 80km/h?

In urban areas, this already exceeds the speed limit, while on highways, it depends on specific circumstances. Below is detailed information about highway speed limits: 1. Maximum speed: Highways should indicate the driving speed for each lane, with the maximum speed not exceeding 120 kilometers per hour, and the minimum speed not less than 60 kilometers per hour. On highways, the maximum speed for small passenger vehicles should not exceed 120 kilometers per hour, for other motor vehicles it should not exceed 100 kilometers per hour, and for motorcycles, it should not exceed 80 kilometers per hour. 2. Minimum speed: According to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law," if there are 2 lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the left lane is 100 kilometers per hour; if there are 3 or more lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the leftmost lane is 110 kilometers per hour, and the minimum speed for the middle lane is 90 kilometers per hour. If the speed indicated by road speed limit signs is inconsistent with the above lane speed regulations, the speed indicated by the road speed limit signs should be followed.
As a veteran driver with over 20 years of experience, I can tell you that 80 kilometers per hour is a very common highway speed. I remember the first time I drove at 80 on the highway—it felt smooth yet not too slow, perfect for long-distance driving without causing fatigue. However, you need to pay attention to road conditions. In rainy weather or when taking curves, braking distance increases at 80 km/h, making skidding more likely, so it's important to slow down in advance. In the city, 80 might exceed the speed limit, as most streets are capped at around 60 km/h. Once you're used to driving, 80 km/h gives a sense of freedom, but you also need to keep an eye on the dashboard to avoid unintentionally speeding and getting a ticket. Tire wear also increases at this speed, making regular inspections crucial. In short, 80 kilometers per hour is neither crawling nor reckless racing—it's a practical cruising speed for relaxed driving on the road.
