Correct answer
60 km/h.
In normal conditions, a bus’s minimum speed on motorways and dual carriageways is 60 km/h. The 10 km/h reduction for school or minors’ transport applies to the general maximum outside built-up areas; it does not require subtracting 10 from every travelling speed or lower the normal minimum to 50 km/h. Travelling below the minimum is permitted when traffic, vehicle or road conditions prevent maintaining it safely; never accelerate to reach the minimum when unsafe.
