Philippines
1. Minimum speed
A minimum speed is the lowest speed that vehicles are required to maintain on a particular road or under specified conditions. Minimum-speed rules are intended to prevent vehicles travelling unnecessarily slowly from disrupting traffic or creating large speed differences between road users.
A minimum speed does not require drivers to maintain that speed when traffic, weather, visibility, road conditions or safety require them to slow down. The way minimum speeds are indicated and enforced varies between countries.
Where should I check minimum-speed requirements in the Philippines?
Check the expressway speed-limit table and the applicable roadside signs. The TRB distinguishes minimum and maximum limits by facility and vehicle category; do not treat an expressway minimum as a rule for every Philippine road.
Start of a minimum speed.
