Correct answer
- A80 km/h80 km/h
On motorways (autopistas) that pass through urban areas in Spain, if there are no signs showing another limit, the maximum speed allowed for cars is 80 km/h. This limit is due to the higher risk linked to dense traffic, the number of exits and possible interaction with pedestrians or public transport. By comparison, on motorways outside urban areas the maximum speed allowed is 120 km/h, but in urban areas it is reduced because of the possible dangers.
