Some off-ramp speed limits hiked to 50 km/h

Drivers will be able to exit the Fifth Ring Road at faster speeds in future after the Beijing traffic management bureau announced it was hiking off-ramp speed limits to 50 km/h.

The previous speed limit on the ring road's off-ramps had been 30 km/h.

"We have already set out to relax the speed limits and the changes will be made gradually," said an unnamed officer with the bureau in an interview with the Mirror Evening News.
