Question 4930

Must the speed limits established by traffic signs always be obeyed?

  1. No, the maximum speed is only advisory.
  2. Yes, except on conventional roads (carreteras convencionales), to pass another vehicle.
  3. Yes, always.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, always.

Yes. A posted speed limit takes precedence over the road's general speed limit and must be obeyed. You must not exceed it to pass another vehicle on a conventional road (carretera convencional) either, because passing does not give you any extra speed allowance.
