A passenger car not carrying dangerous goods travels on a through-road section within a built-up area (a Spanish “travesía”), with no specific speed limit or other lower restriction. What is its general maximum speed?

Correct answer

50 km/h.

50 km/h under Article 50.5. A “travesía” is a road section passing through a built-up area; it is not any urban street, whose general limits depend on its layout. The dangerous-goods reduction does not apply here. This maximum does not require that speed: obey lower limits and reduce speed as visibility, traffic or road conditions require.
