On a conventional road outside a built-up area, with two-way traffic, no physical separation and no specific posted limit, the shoulder is 1 metre wide. What is the general speed limit for a motorcycle?

Correct answer

90 kilometres per hour

The general limit is 90 km/h; shoulder width does not increase it. On a physically separated conventional road, the road authority may set 100 km/h for motorcycles, but physical separation does not automatically raise the limit. Speed must also suit the conditions and comply with specific signs.
