Question 5464

As a general rule, the maximum permitted speed on urban roads with one lane in each direction is 30 km/h; may a higher maximum speed be established?

  1. No.
  2. Yes, through specific signage, up to a maximum of 50 km/h.
  3. No, but a lower one may be.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, through specific signage, up to a maximum of 50 km/h.

Yes. As an exception, the local council may raise the limit on a street with one lane in each direction to as much as 50 km/h, and it indicates this with signs, like the 50 sign in the image. It may also lower the limit.
