What is the general speed limit in urban areas unless otherwise posted?

30 km/h
50 km/h
60 km/h
40 km/h

The correct answer is: 50 km/h

The general speed limit in urban areas is set at 50 km/h unless otherwise indicated by specific signage. This limit is established to ensure the safety of pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles in densely populated areas where higher traffic volumes and frequent stops occur. A speed limit of 50 km/h allows drivers to have better control of their vehicles, reduces the severity of accidents, and provides adequate reaction time to unexpected situations such as vehicles turning, children playing near the road, or pedestrians crossing. Other speed limits, such as 30 km/h, 40 km/h, or 60 km/h, might apply in specific areas, but the standard for most urban roads is 50 km/h. Drivers should also be observant of any posted limits that may be lower due to particular conditions or localized factors such as schools or residential areas.
