Question 5861

An additional lane has been opened on this road. What is the maximum speed at which the orange vehicle may drive?

  1. 80 kilometers per hour.
  2. 60 kilometers per hour.
  3. The general speed limit for the road.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: 80 kilometers per hour.

On a section with a temporary additional lane, the maximum speed is 80 km/h and the minimum is 60, unless a sign indicates a lower limit. This applies to the additional lane and the shoulders. In the image, the orange passenger car is in the additional lane in the center, and the signs at the edge show a maximum of 80 and a minimum of 60. The road's general speed limits do not apply.
