Excerpt: The China National Highways (simplified Chinese: traditional Chinese: pinyin: Guodao; literally "national road") are a series of trunk roads throughout all of mainland China. Although they are called highways (such as the Jingbao Highway), they are not necessarily expressways. However, like expressways, a toll is sometimes charged. Toll plaza on the combined G106/G316 in the center of the town of Futu, in Huangshi Municipality, HubeiAlthough an accepted speed limit on China National Highways is 100 km/h, it is not uncommon to see cars pass other by in well in excess of 100 km/h. The lack of speed detection cameras on some routes, lack of a posted speed limit outside of localities and tremendous distances of road mileage, means that enforcing this speed limit is rather herculean. In addition there is a notable shortage of traffic police in mainland China. Nationwide highways often begin with the letter G, followed by three numerals, e.g.: G107. It is said that the G stands for (guoji ), or national. The numbering of the highways is as follows: Although most Guodao are good paved roads, some sections are still quite rough, such as this 20-km stretch of G209 north of Badong, HubeiThe building of highways is seen as key to accelerating infrastructure construction. In 2003, completed investment in highway construction was 350 billion yuan and 219 key highway projects progressed, focusing mainly on the five north-south and seven east-west national arterial highways as well as highways in western China and in rural areas. By the end of 2004, the total length of highways open to traffic reached 1.871 million km, including 34,300 km (21,300 mi) of expressways up to advanced modern transportation standard, ranking second in the world. The nation's highway density has now reached 19.5...
