When approaching an intersection with no visibility and no priority signs, must you reduce your speed? What maximum limit applies?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is that you must reduce speed and never exceed 50 km/h. Traffic Regulations state that when approaching an intersection where visibility is practically nil and there are no signs regulating the right of way (meaning the general rule of yielding to the right applies), the maximum permitted speed is 50 km/h, regardless of the road's generic limit. This rule aims to ensure the driver has enough time to bring the vehicle to a complete stop if a hazard or a vehicle with priority appears.
