Correct answer
50 km/h.
50 km/h under Article 50.5 for town crossings. When carrying dangerous goods, the maximum is 40 km/h; always obey lower specific limits and adapt speed to conditions. Do not extend this 50 km/h rule to every urban road: their general limits can be 20, 30 or 50 km/h according to layout. A town crossing must be distinguished from other roads within built-up areas.
