What is the minimum speed at which you may drive on a motorway or dual carriageway?
Highways and motorways
Explanation
On **motorways and expressways**, the **minimum permitted speed** is **60 kilometers per hour**. This means that, except for specific exceptions, you should not drive at a speed lower than this on these roads.
Exceptions include situations such as heavy traffic, vehicle breakdowns, poor road conditions, or when dealing with special vehicles or those accompanying others, such as in cycling competitions. In these cases, driving at a lower speed is allowed.
Driving at a speed lower than the established minimum, such as 40 km/h on a motorway, is considered an **abnormally reduced speed** and is prohibited, as it can pose a danger to road safety.
