With no signs establishing a lower limit, what is a motorcycle’s general maximum speed on a through road within a built-up area (travesía), with two lanes in each direction and no shoulders?

Correct answer

50 km/h.

50 km/h. The general limit on travesías is 50 km/h and may be lowered by signs. The presence of shoulders does not determine it. Do not extend this to every urban road: general limits are 20 km/h on a single shared carriageway-and-pavement platform, 30 km/h with one lane per direction and 50 km/h with two or more, subject to applicable rules and signs. Also adapt speed to conditions.

  • 90 km/h because there are no shoulders.

  • 50 km/h.

  • 100 km/h because a travesía is always treated as a road outside a built-up area.
