In town the general limit is 50 km/h on roads with two or more lanes in each direction, 30 km/h with a single lane in each direction and 20 km/h on single-level (shared) streets (Article 50.1 of the General Traffic Regulations). Keeping to these limits protects pedestrians above all: their chance of surviving being hit falls sharply as speed increases.
