Nowadays, the pace of life is accelerating, and the way of travel is becoming more and more convenient, and with the arrival of holidays, more and more people are running long distances. There is such a phenomenon, as long as you run a long distance, everyone will give priority to running at high speed, no matter whether the highway is congested or not, no matter how many kilometers of traffic jam, or still choose to go on the highway. However, sometimes the national highway is smoother, why are there so few people walking? There are several reasons.
1. Even if the traffic jam is very long, the time to run the high speed will still be less than the national highway. Compared with national highways, expressways are designed to achieve fast traffic, so the design speed is relatively high, generally 120km/h. In the section of the road without traffic jams, you can run up to 120km/h, although the traffic jam wastes some time, but overall, the average speed is higher than the national highway, the time is less, and the running is more enjoyable. The maximum speed limit on national highways is 80km/h, and there are many sections that do not run the maximum speed limit, and the average speed is low. If the distance is long, even if you are stuck in traffic for two hours, you can still go faster at high speed.
2. The road conditions of the highway are relatively stable and safe, and the road conditions are single. Although the speed on the highway is very fast, it is a closed road, there are no traffic lights, and no pedestrians or non-motorized vehicles will come out of the middle of the road. When driving, you only need to control the speed of the vehicle and maintain the following distance, which can basically ensure driving safety. And the road conditions of national highways are very complex and there are too many uncertainties. There are many intersections on national roads, many traffic lights, and many openings in the middle of the road, so there may be pedestrians or battery cars crossing the road at any time, and the speed of the car cannot run, and accidents are more likely to occur. Some national highways do not have separate non-motorized lanes, and there will be a mixed situation of people and vehicles, and there are many villages that pass through, and there are more pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles, and the speed of vehicles is not fast and dangerous.
3. National highways are more likely to violate regulations. As long as you don't exceed the speed limit and don't take the emergency lane, you will basically not violate the rules. But there are more problems that need to be paid attention to when taking national highways, waiting for red lights, and giving way to pedestrians. The most headache is that the speed limit is not uniform, the speed limit is 80, 60, there are also 30, 40, you have to always pay attention to the speed limit signs on the side of the road, if you are not familiar with the road section, accidentally did not notice the speed limit of the road section, it is easy to speed, if the speed limit is very low, it is easy to speed too much, and the penalty is heavier.
4. Highways are also able to provide a better driving experience and comfort. Highway pavement quality is generally better, with relatively less bumps and noise during vehicle driving, making it more comfortable for both drivers and passengers. At the same time, the service area facilities on the expressway are also relatively complete, which can facilitate drivers to rest, shop, dine and refuel, and provide better travel support.
To sum up, although it is sometimes easier to get stuck in traffic on the highway, its benefits are far greater than taking the national highway. Short time, comfortable running, single road conditions, safer driving, these are the most needed things for long-distance driving, and high-speed can be provided. However, everyone should also make a choice according to their actual situation, if the distance is not too far, only one or two hundred kilometers, you can choose to take the national highway, if you really catch up with the high-speed traffic jam, this kind of distance is close or take the national highway faster. Therefore, before departure, you should consider comprehensively according to your destination and road conditions, consider the time cost and economic cost, first use the navigation to see where the traffic jam is, which road is the fastest, and then make the most reasonable choice.
