Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is no. According to the General Traffic Regulations, the general speed limit on motorways and dual carriageways running through urban land (built-up areas) is 80 km/h. It is crucial to remember a fundamental rule: on urban roads or within built-up areas, exceeding the maximum established speed limit to overtake is never permitted. Although there are exceptions where specific signage might allow up to 100 km/h, as a general rule and without signs indicating otherwise, the limit is 80 km/h and cannot be exceeded.
