What is the speed limit on an urban road for a private passenger car (if not indicated otherwise by any road sign)?
- 40 k.p.h.
- 70 k.p.h.
- Correct answer: 50 k.p.h.
- 60 k.p.h.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: 50 k.p.h.
On an urban road, the maximum speed permitted for a private passenger car is 50 k.p.h, unless a sign indicates otherwise. In a city there are many pedestrians, junctions, crosswalks and parked vehicles. A lower speed shortens the distance travelled before you react and the braking distance, so it is safer.
