Correct answer
100 km/h.
100 km/h under Article 48. Overtaking does not permit exceeding it. A bus with authorised standing passengers or not equipped with seat belts is subject to 80 km/h outside a built-up area; school/minor transport has its regulatory reduction. Observe lower limits and slow when conditions require.
