Question 7083

As a general rule, what is the maximum speed at which a motorcycle may travel on an urban road where the roadway and the sidewalk are at different levels?

  1. 20 km/h if it has 1 lane per direction of traffic and 50 km/h if it has 2 or more lanes per direction.
  2. 20 km/h if it has 1 lane per direction of traffic and 30 km/h if it has 2 or more lanes per direction.
  3. 30 km/h if it has 1 lane per direction of traffic and 50 km/h if it has 2 or more lanes per direction.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: 30 km/h if it has 1 lane per direction of traffic and 50 km/h if it has 2 or more lanes per direction.

If the sidewalk is at a different level, it does not form a single-level surface with the roadway, so the 20 km/h limit does not apply. For motorcycles, as for other vehicles, the limit is 30 km/h with one lane in each direction and 50 with two or more.
