Word origin
限行 (xiànxíng, "traffic restrictions") combines 限 (xiàn, "limit") with 行 (xíng, "travel"), so its form pictures vehicle travel being limited by place or time.
Usage tips
- In public notices, the affected vehicle group and the start and end times often matter more than the general rule, because different limits can apply to different roads or vehicles.
