In road engineering, what is the project or design speed of a road section?

Correct answer

The speed used to define the alignment’s geometric characteristics.

The speed used to define the alignment’s geometric characteristics under comfort and safety conditions in Standard 3.1-IC. It is a design parameter, not a guarantee of safe speed for every vehicle or a legal limit authorising that speed. Observe applicable limits and adapt driving to actual conditions.
