In the absence of signage, what is the maximum speed that vehicles must not exceed on a motorway within a built-up area?
Highways and motorways
Explanation
On motorways located within a town or city, the **maximum permitted speed** for all vehicles is **80 kilometers per hour**, provided there is no signage indicating otherwise. This is because motorways and expressways are designed to allow faster and safer traffic flow compared to other urban roads.
In contrast, on other streets within towns, the maximum speed is usually lower, such as 50 km/h, to ensure the safety of pedestrians and other road users. However, in the specific case of motorways within towns, a higher speed is allowed due to the characteristics of these roads, which are designed to support faster and smoother traffic.
