Question 755
On urban roads, besides being mandatory, why is it important not to exceed the general speed limit of 50 km/h?
- Because being struck by a vehicle at more than 50 km/h is fatal in most cases.
- Because fuel consumption does not vary below 50 km/h.
- It is not important, because higher speeds improve traffic flow.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because being struck by a vehicle at more than 50 km/h is fatal in most cases.
On urban roads, the limit depends on the street: 20 km/h if the roadway and sidewalk are at the same level, 30 km/h with one lane in each direction, and 50 km/h with two or more. Being struck by a vehicle at more than 50 km/h is usually fatal.
