BDifficulty 2/5

For a passenger car without a trailer, how does the general maximum limit on a motorway or dual carriageway outside a built-up area compare with those on ordinary urban roads?

Correct answer

The general limit is higher.

It is higher: that car’s general maximum outside a built-up area is 120 km/h on motorways and dual carriageways, while ordinary urban-road general limits are 20, 30 or 50 km/h depending on their features. This does not guarantee faster actual traffic: congestion, weather, signs and other conditions can require lower speeds.
