BDifficulty 2/5

A car without a trailer travels on a paved conventional road outside a built-up area, with no physical separation of directions or different specific speed limit. If it can overtake another car legally and safely, what general maximum speed must it observe?

Correct answer

At 90 km/h.

90 km/h. Article 48 of the General Traffic Regulations sets that limit for a car in the stated circumstances. No 20 km/h overtaking allowance may be added. Hard-shoulder width no longer sets a different limit in this case. Conventional roads do not all always share one limit: specific limits may apply and a road with physically separated directions may have a 100 km/h limit set by its owner. Conditions can also require a lower speed.
