At what speed can you drive a tram on a road marked by this sign, in a built-up area in the hours 5:00 - 23:00?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
A. 50 km/h.
Explanation
In the photo we see sign B-33 with the number 80. On a road marked with this sign in a built-up area between 5:00 and 23:00, you may drive a tram at a speed of no more than 50 km/h - the answer is A.
Sign B-33 showing a speed higher than 50 km/h, placed in a built-up area, applies only to passenger cars, motorcycles and lorries with a maximum permissible mass of up to 3.5 t. A tram is not one of them, so the general limit for a built-up area applies to it, which is 50 km/h. So speeds of 70 km/h (answer B) and 90 km/h (answer C) are not allowed for a tram. Currently 50 km/h applies in a built-up area around the clock.
