Speed & Road Conditions

Unless another limit is posted, the general speed limit on roads in built-up urban areas of Hong Kong is widely cited as:

  • a.30 km/h
  • b.50 km/h
  • c.80 km/h
  • d.110 km/h

The general (default) urban speed limit in Hong Kong is widely cited as 50 km/h where no other limit is shown. Always obey posted signs, which may set higher or lower limits, and confirm current figures with the Transport Department.

Speed & Road Conditions

A posted speed limit means you should:

  • a.Always drive at exactly that speed
  • b.Treat it as a minimum
  • c.Not exceed it, and drive slower when conditions are poor
  • d.Ignore it in light traffic

A speed limit is the maximum for good conditions. Drive below it when rain, traffic, fog, or darkness make higher speeds unsafe.

Speed & Road Conditions

In heavy rain, the correct adjustments are to:

  • a.Slow down, increase your following distance, and use headlights
  • b.Keep the same speed and gap
  • c.Brake hard frequently
  • d.Switch off your lights to save power

Wet roads cut grip and lengthen stopping distances. Slow down, leave a bigger gap, brake gently, and use headlights so you can see and be seen.

Speed & Road Conditions

In fog or very low visibility you should:

  • a.Use full high beam to see further
  • b.Follow the car ahead closely by its lights
  • c.Speed up to leave the fog
  • d.Slow down, keep a larger gap, and use dipped headlights or fog lights

Fog hides hazards and other vehicles, so slow down and increase your gap. Use dipped headlights or fog lights; high beam reflects off fog and dazzles you.
