Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, to avoid causing accidents.

Yes. If you drive below the minimum speed without a justified reason, you hold up others, and a driver approaching from behind could hit you. The minimum speed must be obeyed, and its purpose is to prevent these crashes. In the image, the sign sets a minimum speed of 70 km/h in the two left lanes.
