Question 6483

The lane visible on the left is open to traffic in the opposite direction. What is the maximum permitted speed in that lane?

  1. 90 kilometers per hour.
  2. 100 kilometers per hour.
  3. 80 kilometers per hour.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: 80 kilometers per hour.

In a lane opened for traffic traveling in the opposite direction from normal, like the one on the left in the image, separated by cones, the maximum speed is 80 km/h. The minimum is 60 km/h, and if a sign sets a lower limit, the sign takes precedence. Limits of 90 or 100 km/h do not apply in that lane, even if the road allows them.
