Will speeding on an off-ramp result in penalty points?

Speeding on an off-ramp will result in penalty points. The relevant penalty mechanisms for speeding on highways and national roads are as follows: 1. Speeding less than 10%: A warning will be issued, with no penalty points or fines, and no need to undergo processing. 2. Speeding between 10% and 20%: 3 penalty points will be deducted, and a fine of 200 yuan will be imposed. 3. Speeding between 20% and 50%: 6 penalty points will be deducted, and a fine of 200 yuan will be imposed. 4. Speeding more than 50%: 12 penalty points will be deducted at once, with a fine of 500 yuan. Then, as the speeding rate increases, the fine amount will gradually double until the speeding rate exceeds 100%, at which point the fine amount will be capped at 2000 yuan.
I was also curious about this issue when driving on the highway before. The speed limit on highway ramps is generally much lower than that on the main road, such as 40 to 60 kilometers per hour, and speeding will definitely result in penalty points. According to traffic regulations, ramps are part of the road and are monitored by cameras. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 10% will start to incur penalty points: 3 points plus a fine for 10-20% over, 6 points for 20-50%, and a direct 12-point penalty for exceeding 50%. I once saw a friend speeding up to 80 on a ramp, which resulted in penalty points and nearly caused an accident. Ramps have sharp curves, and high speeds can easily lead to loss of control—safety first. When driving, I usually slow down in advance and use navigation to remind me of speed limits to avoid getting caught. Accumulating too many penalty points could lead to insufficient points on the license, requiring retraining, which is too troublesome. In short, don’t take risks on ramps—following the speed limits is the most worry-free approach.
