Question 6500

As a general rule, the maximum permitted speed on road sections through built-up areas (travesías) and some urban roads is 50 km/h. May a maximum speed lower than this be established?

  1. On urban roads, yes, but not on road sections through built-up areas (travesías).
  2. Yes.
  3. No.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes.

Yes. On streets, the municipal authority may lower the general limit with signs, like the 30 sign in the image. On a road section through a built-up area (travesía), the 50 limit may also be lowered if the municipal authority and the road authority agree.
