A1Difficulty 3/5

What determines the generic motorcycle speed limit on ordinary urban roads where no signs modify it?

Correct answer

The layout: 20, 30 or 50 km/h depending on the case.

The road layout: 20 km/h where carriageway and pavement share a single level; 30 km/h with one lane per direction; 50 km/h with two or more lanes per direction, excluding reserved lanes. Applicable regulation and safety conditions must be respected. Through-roads have their own generic 50 km/h rule; overtaking does not authorise exceeding the limit.
