What factors may justify setting a specific speed limit for a road section?

Correct answer

Road characteristics and layout, and traffic conditions.

The section’s characteristics, layout and traffic conditions. Article 47 of the General Traffic Regulations provides for signed specific limits set by road owners and temporary limits set by traffic authorities when conditions warrant them. Bends are part of road layout and may affect safety alongside the section’s other characteristics. Observe the applicable limit and adapt speed to circumstances, including travelling below it when necessary.
