Show the correct answer
Correct answer
A. 90 km/h.
Explanation
In the photo, next to a two-way single-carriageway road through a forest, there is sign D-43 "end of built-up area" - a white board with a crossed-out outline of a town. Beyond it, a passenger car may travel at up to 90 km/h, because this is an ordinary single-carriageway road outside a built-up area - answer A. Speeds of 100 and 110 km/h apply to other types of road or do not appear in Polish speed limits at all.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign D-43 marks the exit from a built-up area, and the Road Traffic Act states that the speed limit for a passenger car outside a built-up area is 140 km/h on a motorway, 120 km/h on a dual-carriageway expressway, 100 km/h on a single-carriageway expressway and on a dual carriageway with at least two lanes in each direction, and 90 km/h on other roads. The road in the photo has one carriageway and one lane in each direction, so the 90 km/h limit applies, unless sign B-33 sets a lower one.
Legal basis: Art. 20 para. 3 point 1 letter d of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 58 para. 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
