BDifficulty 2/5

A car travels on a motorway with an applicable 80 km/h maximum-speed sign and no other lower limit. What maximum speed must it observe on that section?

Correct answer

80 km/h, without exceeding the signed maximum.

The signed limit: 80 km/h. It is a maximum, not a speed you must maintain; adapt speed and drive more slowly when conditions require. The car’s general 120 km/h motorway limit does not override the 80 sign. Overtaking does not permit exceeding the limit.

All options

  • 100 km/h, because overtaking permits adding 20 km/h.

  • 80 km/h, without exceeding the signed maximum.

  • 120 km/h, ignoring the sign because it is a motorway.
