BDifficulty 1/5

Within a lane there is a speed-limit road marking: the number 40 inside a circle. What does it mean?

Correct answer

Maximum speed of 40 km/h in that lane.

It imposes a maximum of 40 km/h on vehicles using that lane. It is not a minimum speed or a four-tonne mass restriction. Also obey applicable signs and adapt speed to conditions; it does not imply that 40 km/h is always safe.
