How it's used
Focuses specifically on the velocity of a vehicle in motion rather than the general concept of speed. It is frequently used in formal or technical contexts like traffic reports, road signs, or driving instructions. While it functions as a noun, it is almost always paired with verbs like 減慢 or 限制 to describe control over a vehicle.
Examples
The road is so narrow, don't drive at such a high speed.
Related words
Common mistake
Avoid using it to describe the speed of people or non-vehicular objects, where 速度 is the standard term. It is strictly limited to mechanical transport.
