In Portuguese traffic law, what is the minimum statutory speed limit for any vehicle circulating on a motorway (autoestrada)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 50 km/h
- Step 1: Minimum motorway speed standard. Step 2. Article 27 specifies that drivers must not travel at less than 50 km/h on motorways under normal conditions without justified cause. Answer: 50 km/h. Why not the others: 40 km/h is dangerously slow; 60 km/h is the minimum in Germany/Spain; 70 km/h is too high as a minimum.
