What is the general speed limit of urban roads?

The general speed limits of urban roads are as follows:

The speed limit regulations on urban roads are different due to different road conditions and environments. On urban roads without a central line, the speed limit is 30 kilometers per hour; If there is a center line on the road, the speed limit will be increased to 50 kilometers per hour. However, under special weather conditions, when the visibility is less than 50 meters in case of fog, rain, snow, dust and hail, or when driving on icy and muddy roads, the speed limit should be reduced to 30 km/h. Urban roads with more than two motor vehicles in the same direction and speed limit signs and markings shall have a maximum speed of not more than 70 kilometers per hour. Finally, if there is a speed limit sign on the road, you should drive at the speed indicated by the sign strictly.

Influencing factors of urban road speed limit;

1. urban planning: the planning and design of different cities will affect the road structure and speed limit regulations;

2. Road types: the speed limit standards of different types of roads such as main roads, secondary roads and branch roads are different;

3. Traffic flow: The amount of traffic flow on the road will affect the setting of speed limit;

4. Traffic safety: Considering pedestrians, non-motor vehicles and other factors, the speed limit may be lowered to ensure safety;

5. Environmental protection: In some areas, in order to reduce noise pollution and exhaust emissions, a lower speed limit may be set;

6. Road condition: the width, bending degree and slope of the road will affect the setting of speed limit;

7. Climatic conditions: In severe weather conditions such as rain and snow, the speed limit standard is usually lowered to ensure driving safety.

To sum up, the speed limit regulations of urban roads are different according to the road conditions and environment. Generally, the speed limit of roads without center line is 30 kilometers, and that of roads with center line is 50 kilometers. In special weather conditions or poor road conditions, the speed limit should be reduced to 30 kilometers per hour. There are more than two motor vehicle lanes in the same direction and roads with speed limit signs and markings, and the maximum speed shall not exceed 70 kilometers per hour. Finally, the speed limit signs set on the road should be strictly observed.
