What maximum speed must not be exceeded on motorways within built‑up areas?
Highways and motorways
Explanation
The **maximum speed allowed on highways within built-up areas** is **80 kilometers per hour**, unless otherwise indicated by specific signs. This is because, although highways allow higher speeds outside urban areas, lower limits are set within towns and cities to ensure the safety of all road users, including pedestrians and cyclists.
In urban areas, it is crucial to maintain lower speeds to reduce the severity of accidents and increase the chances of survival in the event of a collision. Therefore, the 80 km/h limit on urban highways seeks to balance traffic efficiency with road safety.
