The traffic rules describe how a road user must act on the public road, which includes obligations but also advice on how to drive sensibly and safely. All road users must know and apply the traffic rules.
The speed depends on the type of road and the conditions in which you are driving. Do not drive faster than the speed limit and make sure you can drive safely and comfortably.
A speed limit can be indicated at any time with the traffic sign below. The traffic sign means that it is forbidden to drive faster than indicated. The traffic sign is valid until the next intersection or until the traffic sign announcing the end.
