[Che Xunwang report] to me, more and more sensitive to the speed limit often traveling by car. Two years ago, especially in Xinjiang, according to the speed limit clearly opened the cruise, returned to Beijing after three months, still receive penalty notices. The United States see when traveling by car, although the speed limit everywhere, but the actual implementation of more liberal. Resulting, travel is high efficiency.
US territorial area of 9.37 million square kilometers, 9.6 million less than the country’s number, ranking fourth in the world. But its population of less than 400 million, the population density is 36 people / km; while China’s 1.4 billion population, population density of 144 people / km2. The basic situation very different, coupled with the US plains, so it’s generally better traffic conditions.
If you look at the road roughness, better to let U.S. mdash; mdash; many bumpy road, look ragged, particularly coupled with the cement road, and traffic uncomfortable. In contrast, our roads are mostly asphalt, and there is a new, stronger and more comfortable than the United States.
However, it has the advantage that a high efficiency. Although the major city in the morning and evening peak, is congestion everywhere, the average speed not much faster than the bike, from a macro perspective, it’s more efficient than our passage. Why not? Low population density is an important factor, we do not have this law. Factors pleasant, vehicles, roads and so on, I think it is worth learning.
and China’s road into the highway, State Road, dart same, US Highway also three levels mdash; mdash; blue icons on a state highway, the equivalent of our the national highway.
White icon divided into two kinds. More common as shown below, called the U.S. Highways, the equivalent of our national highway. There is also a white diamond icon is square, the equivalent of our provincial highway.
them ldquo; State Road rdquo ;, and state-level highway little difference. Some sections of the two roads DryBrittle is merged together.
United States all roads have speed limits. Take the highway for the state level, close to the downtown area, the speed limit is usually 55 miles (about 89 kilometers).
out of the city, the speed limit will rise to 65 or 75 miles (about 105/121 kilometers). Relatively speaking, the speed limit 75 miles of highway, is more common. This requirement, consistent with our country’s highways.
only in particularly good road conditions, speed limit will encounter 80 miles (about 129 kilometers) highway. In France, the highway speed limit of 130 km, significantly more than the United States.
In ldquo; national road rdquo; the more common speed limit of 60 miles (about 97 km). After entering the town, will speed to 35 miles (about 56 km), or 25 miles (about 40 km).
Despite clear the speed limit, but the vehicles on American highways, most of them in the overspeed condition. For example, the speed limit 75 miles of road, many cars will be open to 80 or 85 miles, and some are even able to open up to 90 miles.
According to a friend introduced, speeding 5 miles, it is permitted. To this end, I looked up traffic law in California, the specific provisions that allow speeding 10 miles. Meanwhile, if the vehicle speed is too slow (less than speed, such as 10 miles), it is illegal.
However, relatively independent states, the governor elected by the voters, rather than appointed by the President, so each state has its own laws. I do not have the ability to state the speed limit are checked again. Moreover, the relevant provisions will vary according to the circumstances, appropriate modifications every year.
Therefore, the more prudent approach is to follow the car in front. It is said that if police tried to grab speeding, tend to focus only on trucks. So, on the highway, oftenSee such a scenario mdash; mdash; many vehicles are a bunch of children, a bunch of children, as if a branch of ldquo; leader rdquo; led the team.
In fact, on the highway, single-minded police caught speeding, not much, at least not so much in China. As a result, people often will drive the fast. Even in the face snowy weather, also ascribed, still bolted.
went to Detroit from Chicago that day, all night heavy snow. Starting early in the morning, clearly felt the tires slip. But in order not to hinder others, or efforts to increase the speed to the specified value. When I was traveling at 75 miles per hour, large trucks actually on my side, galloped away. I was stunned to see.
separated for a few days, when I travel to New York from Niagara, more snow, passing vehicles still maintained a relatively high speed. Only small town speed limit 30 miles (about 48 kilometers), they will slow down.
You might ask, snow drive so fast, something a child can stand it? In fact, I also have this question. To personally see it, the answer is untenable. For example, via Chicago that day, within two hours we witnessed three accidents, two from slipping out of the highway, hit the guardrail 1 onwards.
Since there is danger, why should they do drive fast?
As far as I understand the superficial, which is like a gun. Obviously there are many hidden dangers, many malignant cases occur, many people still can support. Inalienable right talent is one thing, on the other hand, they think that this is an inevitable price, willing to pay. Because everything has a yin and yang, just positive, not negative, it is not possible. For safety, the road all the cars are shaped like turtle crawl, too expensive, not worth. Moreover, slow does not necessarily bring absolutely safe. Speaking of which, I think of a past event, 20 years ago, I worked in a factory driver class interview, the squad leader told me that only one of them the driver drove especially slow, it is the maximum number of times he can be a thing.
Of course, ten times the accident nine times faster, and not without reason. On this topic, talk to you later.
the United States back to the topic, I think, one of the reasons common to drive fast, is most people’s driving skills better. For this reason not only in the United States, many countries are true. For example, last year in France, narrow country road speed limit of 70 km, 10 French people usually like speeding percentage, that is to say, on the road this width, it can travel at 77 kilometers per hour. And in my house mdash; mdash; Lishuiqiao near Beijing Chaoyang District, also there is a narrow road, unlimited speed signs, no pedestrians, just because the narrow, passing vehicles able to open to 30 km, is quite good. As for Iceland, the width of the road, the speed limit up to 90 kilometers.
The second reason is clear and the right way. For example, you are a straight road, a bright green light, go ahead and step on the gas, as quickly as you can by turning your car did not dare to grab the line. Another example under the road map, you do not need to worry about a small road next to the car or motorcycle will sprang, because at this time you will not only have the right of way, more priority.
rules worked out, not put in that decorations, but really going to execute. Everyone must follow in order to exchange good traffic order. Of course, you can not comply with, the cost of non-compliance, not a criticism and education, but must be out real money, very expensive.
three
reason is reasonable Road and network design. The reason is simple, the optical path has not, it will have to make up the network. Take the Beijing Airport Expressway, since starting in the third ring road, travel from the city, quite twists and turns, until a repair contact line, which is connected to the ring road, considered better.
In contrast, U.S. road network, but also dense than the web. And our difference is that they are basically the highway close to the city, and some even from across the city center.
For example, when I entered the Washington metropolitan area along Route 395 highway, a high-speed cornering, the Houses of Parliament in sight. The most important place evenClose to highway access, completely beyond my knowledge. In fact, in dozens of cities I subsequently passing of them, without exception, it is this design. There is no doubt that is designed to speed up the flow rate. Another factor
to accelerate the flow rate is to increase the speed. When it comes to speeding, someone might shoot out the lip mdash; mdash; others are large displacement, high-powered car, we simply can not ratio. Yes, Americans are really like a large displacement of the car, but in the streets, ordinary low-emission vehicles, a greater number.
In other words, the vehicle power is not the main reason. The main reason is that three good mdash; mdash; good driving skills, good traffic order and good road network construction. On the basis of level I do not want to work hard, just keep connivance with the shield mdash; mdash; suddenly sprang illegal pedestrians, but police blamed the driver does not carefully observed. This approach is certainly a vicious circle.
According to my observation, there is little speed probes on their road, not very prevalent in our range of speed. The police is to maintain the right-of-focus, rather than caught speeding. For example, if you change lanes in a row for no reason, at low speed, there is no parking in front of consciously STOP, turn the car and grab the straight-line driving, do not give way to pedestrians, maybe it will pop up a police car, you will win.
unknowingly, said a lot of good things. No wonder, we are still in the early days of the Republic, people have been gradually popularized the car. More experience in many ways, to do more reasonable for granted. Our late start, behind some normal, not a shame. The key is to face reality, efforts to develop. If even refused to acknowledge reality, indulge in narcissism, arrogant, it is very scary.
