Correct answer
Yes, subject to the justified exceptions provided by the rules.
Yes. They are not mere recommendations, and observing maximum limits alone is insufficient. Article 49 sets a 60 km/h minimum for motor vehicles on motorways and dual carriageways; on other roads, half the general maximum for the relevant category and road. Its paragraph 2 allows slower travel in justified cases, including when maintaining a higher speed would be unsafe. Do not speed up to a minimum when conditions make it dangerous.
