Speed limits on federal highways will be 80km/h.
Long car lines will form on all highways before and after the festive season, and this is also the season with the highest rate of car accidents. To reduce crash rates, speed limits on federal highways and interstates will be reduced.
According to JPJ, the speed limit on federal highways and interstate highways will be reduced to coincide with the Lunar New Year. The date of adjustment is January 18-27, 2023.
The speed limit on federal roads will be 80 km/h, and interstates will be 70 km/h. Heavy vehicles will not be permitted on the roads during the Chinese New Year holiday. This change is intended to reduce the number of traffic accidents on the highway, particularly fatal traffic accidents.
Federal roads are those that are built by the federal government and do not have tolls.
