What does this rule or driving tip mean? The general speed limit for motor vehicles within built-up areas is 50 km/h. A zone sign, road section sign, or electronic sign may set a lower or different maximum speed.
How to apply this safely
Recognize the built-up area sign and remember where the area begins.
Check after each side road whether a zone restriction still applies.
Adjust your speed extra in areas near schools, shops, and in poor visibility.
Driving lesson and exam tip
The maximum speed is not a target speed. Show that you also drive below the limit when the situation calls for it.
Remember: Within built-up areas, 50 km/h is the main rule, but signs may indicate 30, 60, or another limit.
