Question 4109
The speed limits established on roads are set...
- based on various criteria, such as the design of the road.

Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: based on various criteria, such as the design of the road.
Speed limits are set using technical criteria, especially the road's layout. The design takes into account the traffic it will carry, the proportion of heavy vehicles, and its capacity. In the image, the 70 km/h speed limit sign has a slippery road surface panel below it.
