On a motorway that runs through an urban area, what is the maximum speed a car may travel at if there is no signage?
Highways and motorways
Explanation
On a motorway that passes through an **urban area**, the maximum permitted speed for a car is **80 km/h** if there is no signage indicating otherwise. This is because, within towns or cities, motorways and dual carriageways have a specific speed limit to ensure the safety of all road users.
- **Motorways and dual carriageways in urban areas**: The maximum speed is **80 km/h**. This is different from motorways and dual carriageways outside urban areas, where the limit may be higher, but within a city, it is reduced to adapt to urban conditions and increase safety.
- **Safety in urban areas**: Speed limits in urban areas are designed to minimize the risk of accidents and increase the chances of survival in the event of an incident. In general, within cities, the aim is for vehicles to travel at lower speeds to protect pedestrians and other road users.
Therefore, on a motorway that passes through an urban area, the maximum speed without signage is **80 km/h**.
