On a road within a built-up area with no specific speed limit indicated, what is the maximum speed allowed for overtaking?
Speed
Explanation
On roads within built-up areas, the **maximum permitted speed** for overtaking is **50 km/h**. This is because, in general, streets within built-up areas have lower speed limits to ensure the safety of all road users, including pedestrians and cyclists.
- **Overtaking** involves increasing speed, but always respecting the maximum permitted limit. In urban areas, this limit is 50 km/h unless otherwise indicated.
- It is important to maintain an **adequate separation** when overtaking, especially on streets with mixed traffic, to avoid accidents and protect the most vulnerable users, such as cyclists and pedestrians.
Therefore, when overtaking on a road within a built-up area without a specific speed limit, you must not exceed 50 km/h to comply with road safety regulations.
