What are the maximum national speed limits for cars in built-up areas?

The maximum national speed limit for cars in built-up areas is set at 50 kilometers per hour. This limit is established primarily for safety reasons. It helps to protect pedestrians and cyclists, who are more vulnerable in such environments where there may be frequent interactions with motor vehicles. In built-up areas, there are often higher numbers of pedestrians, traffic lights, and other vehicles, which can create potential hazards. By maintaining a lower speed limit, it reduces the severity of accidents, should they occur, and allows drivers more time to react to sudden changes, such as a pedestrian stepping into the road or a vehicle making an unexpected turn. This speed limit reflects a balance between maintaining traffic flow and ensuring safety for all road users in densely populated regions.
