What is the maximum speed at which a bus transporting schoolchildren may travel on a motorway?
Speed
Explanation
To understand why a bus transporting schoolchildren can travel at a **maximum speed of 90 kilometers per hour** on a motorway, it is important to consider the following rules:
- **Generic speed for buses:** On motorways and dual carriageways, buses have a maximum permitted speed of **100 kilometers per hour**. However, when it comes to buses transporting schoolchildren, a special reduction applies.
- **Reduction for school transport:** Vehicles that perform school transport have a speed limit that is **10 kilometers per hour less** than the general limit for that type of vehicle. This means that, although a bus could normally go at 100 km/h on a motorway, when transporting schoolchildren, its maximum speed is reduced to **90 kilometers per hour**.
Therefore, the maximum permitted speed for a bus transporting schoolchildren on a motorway is **90 kilometers per hour**.
