BDifficulty 2/5

May the authorities raise the general 80 km/h limit on an autopista or autovía within a built-up area?

Correct answer

Yes, by authority agreement and signs, within statutory limits.

Yes, by agreement between the municipal authority and road owner, with specific signs and without exceeding the general limits for those roads outside built-up areas. Drivers must obey the posted and vehicle limits; they cannot raise the limit themselves or for overtaking.
