Correct answer
80 kilometres per hour, with no permitted increase for overtaking.
The general limit is 80 km/h on motorways and dual carriageways within a built-up area, under Article 50.6 of the General Traffic Regulations. The question specifies no signs establishing a different limit. You may not exceed it by 20 km/h to overtake; do not confuse it with the general 120 km/h limit for a motorcycle on these roads outside built-up areas. Always observe applicable lower limits and adapt speed to conditions.
