Step 3 » GENERAL learning environment Category B (B, B1)

The sign in the image is called “Speed limit” and has the role of limiting the travel speed to maximum 40 km/h. The additional panel installed under it has the role of specifying the category of motor vehicles to which the sign “Speed limit” refers. Thus, the speed limit of 40 km/h is valid for the vehicles intended for the transport of goods, more exactly those from category C.

The motor vehicle you drive is part of category B, in which case the speed limit imposed by the sign is not addressed to you and you will respect the maximum speed limit allowed on that road section. Considering that you are about to enter a locality, the maximum speed with which you can move is 50 km/h.

The correct answer is: B
