Is there a specified maximum speed limit for passenger cars on this road?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
C. Yes, 140 km/h.
Explanation
On the right there is sign D-9 "motorway", so you are driving on a motorway. On a motorway you may drive a passenger car at a maximum of 140 km/h - answer C. Answer A is wrong, because in Poland there are no roads without a speed limit, and 130 km/h (B) is the limit in other countries.
The Road Traffic Act states that the speed limit for a passenger car, a motorcycle and a lorry up to 3.5 t on a motorway is 140 km/h. Sign D-9 marks the beginning or continuation of a motorway. Remember that 140 km/h is the upper limit, not a recommendation - in rain, fog or heavy traffic you must drive more slowly, and on a motorway keep a distance in metres equal to at least half your speed.
Legal basis: Art. 20 para. 3 point 1 letter a and Art. 19 para. 3a of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 48 para. 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
