Why are some sections of the highway speed-limited to 100?

Because the road conditions on these highways are not very good, and if vehicles travel at higher speeds, it may pose a danger, hence the speed limit is set at 100. Here is some relevant information about driving on highways: 1. Introduction to highways: Highways refer to high-speed roads, which are compared to medium-speed and low-speed roads. In environments where low speed is the norm, low speed is considered the standard or usual speed, while in environments where medium speed is the norm, medium speed is considered the standard or usual speed. 2. Precautions before driving on highways: Check the weather and road conditions, perform a safety inspection on the vehicle, plan the driving route in advance, carry a vehicle breakdown warning sign and a fire extinguisher, and determine the driving and rest schedule in advance.
Some sections of the highway have a speed limit of 100 kilometers, mainly for safety reasons. I often encounter such sections during long-distance driving, such as in mountainous areas or areas with many curves, where designers must consider the stability of vehicles when turning. Sharp bends or steep slopes can easily lead to loss of control, especially on rainy days when the road is slippery, and braking at high speeds may not be timely. Additionally, in areas with poor visibility, such as tunnel entrances or fog-prone zones, limiting the speed to 100 can prevent rear-end collisions. Another point is the dense concentration of entrances and exits, like in suburban areas, where lowering the speed reduces the risk of congestion during heavy traffic. Sometimes, it's to protect nearby residents by reducing noise and pollution, as high-speed traffic can be quite noisy. I always remind myself not to exceed the 100 speed limit, to slow down in advance, and to regularly check tire pressure and brakes—these small things together make driving more stable.
