Correct answer
At 45 km/h.
45 km/h, half the car’s generic maximum of 90 km/h on this road. Shoulder width does not change that generic limit. Travel below it when traffic, vehicle or road conditions prevent maintaining a higher speed safely, or another statutory exception applies. Always adapt speed to safety.
