Can the general maximum speed limit on dual carriageways and motorways within built-up areas (80 kilometers per hour) be increased?
Speed
Explanation
The **maximum permitted speed** on highways and expressways located **within a town** is **80 kilometers per hour**, unless otherwise indicated by signage. This means that this limit cannot be exceeded under any circumstances.
- Speed limits are designed to ensure the **safety** of all road users. In urban areas, where there is more traffic and pedestrians, it is crucial to maintain lower speeds to reduce the risk of serious accidents.
- On highways and expressways outside urban areas, the maximum permitted speed is generally higher, but within a town, it is reduced to 80 km/h to adapt to urban environment conditions.
Therefore, it is not allowed to increase the generic maximum speed on highways and expressways within a town beyond 80 km/h.
