Correct answer
When travelling below the applicable minimum.
When travelling below the applicable minimum. Article 49 prohibits motor vehicles below 60 km/h on motorways and dual carriageways and, on other roads, below half their category’s general maximum, even without other vehicles. Justified causes and exceptions allow lower speeds, such as traffic, vehicle or road conditions preventing a higher speed without risk. Do not maintain a minimum at the expense of safety.
