On this motorway within a built-up area, what is the maximum speed you may drive at if there is no signage?
Highways and motorways
Explanation
On highways and expressways that are **within a town**, the **maximum permitted speed** is **80 km/h**, unless there is signage indicating otherwise. This is because, although highways and expressways usually allow higher speeds outside urban areas, within cities lower limits are set to ensure the **safety of all road users**, including pedestrians and cyclists.
Speed limits are adjusted according to the type of road and its conditions to ensure safe and comfortable driving. In the case of highways and expressways within towns, the 80 km/h limit helps reduce the severity of accidents and increase the chances of survival in the event of a collision.
