BDifficulty 2/5

Can the traffic authorities increase the maximum speed normally permitted for this type of road on an urban motorway?

Correct answer

Yes, through the corresponding traffic signs.

Yes, by agreement between the municipal authority and road owner, with specific signs, under article 50.6. The general built-up-area motorway and Spanish dual-carriageway limit is 80 km/h; an increase must not exceed the general limits on those roads outside built-up areas. Observe vehicle-specific limits and applicable restrictions, and adapt speed to conditions.
