Will You Be Fined for Driving Too Slowly on the Highway?

[VonJaxon]

In China, regulations stipulate a minimum speed limit for highways, but fines are generally not imposed for driving too slowly. Speeding is what typically results in fines. The speed limit on highways is usually 110~120 km/h; for primary roads such as national highways and provincial roads, the limit is 80 km/h; for suburban roads, it's 70~80 km/h; and for urban roads, the limit is 40~60 km/h. Posted Speed Limits: These refer to the speed limits indicated by signs and markings on the road. The specific speed limits are determined by transportation authorities based on factors such as the road's design speed, function type, geometric alignment characteristics, traffic flow, and roadside environment. Statutory Speed Limits: On roads without posted speed limit signs, drivers must adhere to the speed limits prescribed by laws and regulations, as outlined in the 'Road Traffic Safety Law' and its implementing regulations.
