On a motorway with icy pavement, is it permitted to drive at 40 km per hour?
Highways and motorways
Explanation
On a motorway, the **minimum permitted speed** is 60 kilometers per hour. However, there are **special circumstances** in which driving at a speed lower than the established minimum is allowed. One of these circumstances is when **weather conditions** are adverse, such as in the case of **icy pavement**.
In situations of ice on the road, it is important to **reduce speed** to ensure safety, as the risk of accidents increases. Therefore, although normally driving at 40 km per hour on a motorway would be considered an **abnormally reduced speed**, in this case it is allowed due to the special conditions of the icy pavement.
