What is 70 km/h (43 mph)?

70 km/h is how fast a car moves on the road, like when you're zooming down your favorite street after school.

Imagine you're riding your bike, and you go as fast as you can. That's about 15 km/h (9 mph). Now imagine you have a superhero friend who can ride their bike four times faster than you, that’s 60 km/h (37 mph). But 70 km/h is like your superhero friend got even more powerful and zoomed ahead just a little bit more. It's the speed most cars go on highways, so it feels like you're flying down the road!

If you're traveling at 70 km/h, you cover about 1 kilometer every minute, that’s like walking from your house to the park and back again in just one minute! And if you keep going for an hour, you’ll have traveled 70 kilometers, almost as far as from your town to another town nearby.

So next time you're in a car and you see the speedometer say 70 km/h, imagine you're flying down the road like a superhero!70 km/h is how fast a car moves on the road, like when you're zooming down your favorite street after school.
