Correct answer
40 kilometres per hour.
It is 40 km/h: half the general 80 km/h maximum for motor vehicles towing trailers on a conventional road. A motor-vehicles-only designation does not turn the road into a motorway or dual carriageway, where the general minimum is 60 km/h. Never maintain a minimum speed at the expense of safety: lower speeds are permitted when traffic, vehicle or road conditions prevent maintaining it safely, and in other specified cases. The question excludes transport operations with different limits.
