Zorluk: Çok zorSpeed Limits

Unless signs indicate otherwise, a dual carriageway with a continuous system of street lighting is subject to the national speed limit of 70 mph for passenger cars.

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

False
A system of street lighting automatically classifies any road, including a dual carriageway, as a restricted road with a 30 mph speed limit unless speed limit signs dictate otherwise. The 70 mph limit is therefore incorrect in this scenario.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the vehicle and road characteristics from the stem.
Vehicle: Passenger car. Road: Dual carriageway with a continuous system of street lighting and no speed limit signs.
Speed limits are determined by the combination of vehicle classification and specific road conditions.
2
Evaluate the impact of the street lighting on the default speed limit.
The Highway Code states that a system of street lighting (defined as three or more lamps spaced not more than 183 metres apart) automatically creates a 30 mph limit on any road.
Street lighting legally defines a 'restricted road' regardless of the road's physical layout.
3
Determine if the physical layout (dual carriageway) overrides the lighting rule.
It does not. The 30 mph rule applies to dual carriageways with street lights unless signs specifically indicate a higher limit (such as 40, 50, or National Speed Limit).
The restricted road rule takes precedence over the default 70 mph dual carriageway limit.
