Will driving below 60 km/h on highways result in penalty points?

Driving below 60 km/h on highways will result in penalty points. In China, the minimum speed limit on highways is generally 60 km/h, except for special road conditions or weather circumstances. When driving passenger vehicles on highways, the speed should not exceed 120 km/h, while other motor vehicles should not exceed 100 km/h. Highways, abbreviated as expressways, are roads specifically designed for high-speed vehicle travel. The road surface consists of three main parts: the main carriageway, ramps, and auxiliary lanes. The main carriageway, also known as the traffic lane, is divided from left to right into overtaking lanes, fast lanes, and slow lanes depending on the number of lanes. Highways can accommodate speeds of 120 km/h or higher, with a width of four or more lanes. A median separator is installed in the middle, and the road surface is paved with high-grade asphalt concrete or cement concrete, equipped with complete signs, markings, signals, and lighting devices.
