Correct answer

  • AA 90 kilómetros por hora.90 kilometres per hour.
Explanation

On conventional roads the general speed limit for cars is 90 km/h (Article 48 of the General Traffic Regulations). The road authority may only raise it to 100 km/h when the two directions are physically separated, which is impossible if there are not even markings separating them.
