Correct answer
100 km/h.
In this situation, the generic bus limit is 100 km/h and overtaking does not permit exceeding it. Drive more slowly when conditions or the safety of the manoeuvre require it. Other situations have lower limits: buses carrying authorised standing passengers or lacking seat belts have an 80 km/h limit outside built-up areas, and school or child transport reduces the relevant limit by 10 km/h. Limits applicable to a trailer or a specific sign must also be respected.
