On a conventional road where the generic maximum speed is 90 km/h, what is the minimum permitted speed for a passenger car?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Traffic regulations in Spain establish that, unless specific signage indicates otherwise, the minimum speed on roads is half of the generic maximum speed permitted for the vehicle in question. For a passenger car on a conventional road, the maximum speed is 90 km/h. Therefore, the minimum speed is calculated by dividing that figure by two: 90 km/h / 2 = 45 km/h. Driving below 45 km/h without a justified cause (such as traffic, weather conditions, or a breakdown) is considered driving at an abnormally reduced speed, which is prohibited. The 60 km/h option is incorrect because that corresponds to the generic minimum speed on motorways (autopistas) and dual carriageways (autovías).
