Show the correct answer
Correct answer
B. 50 km/h
Explanation
This question is about the speed limit for a tram in a built-up area between 5:00 and 23:00. Unless signs indicate otherwise, it is 50 km/h - the answer is B.
The Road Traffic Act states that the speed limit for a vehicle in a built-up area is 50 km/h. A tram is a vehicle, so this limit also applies to the tram driver. Currently, 50 km/h applies all day and all night - in the past, 60 km/h was allowed at night (answer A), but this rule was repealed. The value of 55 km/h (answer C) does not appear in the regulations. BT-1 signs may introduce a lower limit for a tram, and conditions on the tracks often require driving more slowly than the limit.
Legal basis: Art. 20 para. 1 and Art. 19 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
