Unless specific signaling indicates otherwise, what is the maximum speed allowed on a motorway running through an urban area?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is 80 km/h. According to General Traffic Regulations, motorways and dual carriageways passing through urban areas (built-up areas) have a general maximum speed limit of 80 km/h. It is important not to confuse this rule with the limit for conventional urban roads (50 km/h or 30 km/h) or interurban motorways (120 km/h). While vertical signs could modify this limit, the general rule in the absence of signs is always 80 km/h.
