Will driving at 120 km/h in the middle lane of a highway result in a fine?
2 Answers
Driving at 120 km/h in the middle lane of a highway will not result in a fine, as the speed limit for the middle lane is 110 km/h. Exceeding this limit by 10% (i.e., driving at 120 km/h) typically results in a warning but no fine or penalty points. Generally, highways have three lanes in the same direction, each with different speed limits. First lane: Speed range: 90-120 km/h. Second lane: Speed range: 80-110 km/h. Third lane: Speed range: 60-100 km/h. Fourth lane: Emergency lane.
Will driving at 120 kilometers per hour in the middle lane of a highway result in a fine? This mainly depends on the local speed limit regulations. For example, I've driven on many highways in China where the standard speed limit is 120 km/h, so I sometimes maintain this speed in the middle lane, which generally doesn't violate rules or incur fines. However, it's important to note that speed limits may vary in different sections, such as mountainous areas where it might be 100 km/h—exceeding this would result in a ticket. The middle lane is not an overtaking lane and has no minimum speed requirement; it's just a normal driving lane, so driving at 120 km/h within the speed limit is very safe. If the weather is bad or road conditions are poor, traffic police may lower the speed limit, and you should slow down accordingly. Developing a habit of checking roadside signs and navigation prompts can help avoid risks, as safety is the top priority.
