Speed limitPeru

For ordinary cars, general maxima include 30 km/h on urban streets and jirones, 50 km/h on avenues, 80 km/h on urban vías expresas and 100 km/h on highways. The 60 km/h category is caminos rurales, rather than every road outside a town. Separate populated-area limits and special precautionary maxima apply, including 20 km/h near educational and other specified busy premises during entry, operation and departure. Follow applicable lower restrictions; poor visibility and adverse weather halve the relevant statutory maxima.

On affected sections, poor visibility and adverse weather such as fog, heavy rain, snow, smoke or dust reduces the maxima established by the relevant traffic-regulation articles to half the normal maximum. Lower applicable restrictions and the duty to drive safely still govern.
