What is the maximum speed limit on most highways in Korea?

The maximum speed limit on most highways in Korea is 100 km/h. This limit is established to ensure a balance between safe driving practices and efficient travel times on highways. It allows vehicles to maintain a steady speed while providing enough reaction time for drivers in various road situations.

Highways are designed to accommodate higher speeds, but the limit seeks to minimize the risk of accidents by preventing excessive speeds that can lead to loss of control and longer stopping distances. While there are some expressways in Korea where the speed limit can be higher, the general rule for most highways is set at 100 km/h to promote safety for all road users.
