Can motorways run through built-up areas?

Correct answer

Yes, the regulations provide for motorways within built-up areas.

Yes. Article 50.6 of the General Traffic Regulations expressly provides for motorways and dual carriageways running within built-up areas. Their general limit is 80 km/h, subject to legally provided signed changes. It does not require every motorway within a built-up area to be a ring road or bypass.
