On an urban road, what is the speed limit (in k.p.h) for a commercial vehicle with an all up weight of more than 12,000 kg?
- Correct answer: 50 k.p.h.- even if there is a road sign permitting to drive at a higher speed.
- 50 k.p.h.- if there is a road sign permitting to drive at a higher speed, the vehicle is permitted to drive at the speed indicated in the sign.
- 60 k.p.h.- even if there is a road sign permitting to drive at a higher speed.
- 60 k.p.h.- if there is a road sign permitting to drive at a higher speed, the vehicle is permitted to drive at the speed indicated in the sign.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: 50 k.p.h.- even if there is a road sign permitting to drive at a higher speed.
The speed limit on an urban road for a commercial vehicle with an all-up weight of more than 12,000 kg is 50 k.p.h. This is a fixed limit for this type of vehicle, so a road sign permitting a higher speed does not raise it. A heavy vehicle needs a longer braking distance, so it is limited to a lower speed.
