Speedlimits
- 1/10Exceeding the maximum speed limit of motor vehicles on the road.
It is prohibited to drive faster than the legally stipulated maximum speed limit on any given road, ensuring safety and compliance with traffic regulations.
Approaching pedestrians crossings.
Reducing speed near pedestrian crossings is crucial for the safety of pedestrians, allowing drivers more time to react and stop if necessary.
Approaching bridges and tunnels.
Bridges and tunnels often have reduced visibility or specific structural considerations. Lowering speed upon approach ensures safer navigation through these areas.
Approaching populated areas.
In populated areas, there’s a higher likelihood of pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles. Reducing speed helps to manage these increased risks and improve reaction time.
Approaching schools and hospitals.
Schools and hospitals are sensitive areas with vulnerable individuals. Lowering speed significantly in these zones is mandatory to prevent accidents and ensure safety.
Approaching turns, curves, and slopes.
Turns, curves, and slopes can reduce visibility and traction. Reducing speed provides better control and allows for safer navigation through these challenging road features.
Approaching crossroads, intersections, roundabouts, and when entering squares.
These are areas of high traffic interaction and potential conflict points. Reducing speed allows drivers to assess the situation, yield when necessary, and navigate safely.
Controlling the vehicle and adapting its speed according to road conditions, vehicle condition/load, and weather.
Drivers are required to adjust their speed based on prevailing road and weather conditions, as well as their vehicle’s condition and load, to maintain control and be able to stop or slow down as needed for safety.
Driving a vehicle at an unusually slow speed without reasonable cause, obstructing normal motion of other vehicles.
Driving at an unreasonably slow speed without a valid reason can impede the flow of traffic and create hazards for other road users. Drivers should maintain a speed appropriate for the conditions without unnecessary obstruction.
Using brakes suddenly to reduce vehicle speed or stop, when not necessary for safety.
Sudden or unnecessary braking can surprise drivers behind you and lead to rear-end collisions. Brakes should only be applied abruptly when required for the safety of motion on the road.
