Correct answer
50 km/h.
50 km/h on such through-roads under Article 50. S-500 indicates where built-up-area rules begin, but does not set one 50 km/h limit for every urban street. Ordinary urban-road general limits are 20 km/h on a shared pavement/carriageway platform, 30 with one lane per direction and 50 with two or more per direction; reserved lanes do not count. Always observe lower limits and adapt speed.
