Question 596 of 1208

With what speed is can drive in the vicinity of an intersection?

A the maximum speed limit will be respected only in the case of directed intersections;
B with a speed that allows the stopping, to give priority of passing to the traffic participants who have this right;
C the maximum speed limit in the urban area will be 50 km/h, and outside built-up area 130 km/h.

Explanation

For answer  A 

The maximum speed limit will be respected in any situation, as well as in all the intersections, regardless if these are with directed traffic or with undirected traffic.


For answer  B 

When approaching an intersection you must drive with a speed that allows the stopping, to give priority of passing to the traffic participants who have this right.

It must be known that when changing the direction of travel through turns you will drive with maximum 30 km/h in the urban area or 50 km/h outside built-up area.

It must be known that when passing through intersections with undirected traffic you must drive with maximum 30 km/h in the urban area or 50 km/h outside built-up area, regardless if you change or not the direction of travel through turning.


For answer  C 

Indeed the maximum general speed limit on the roads in the urban area is 50 km/h. However outside built-up area the maximum speed limit is not a generally valid one, this is established depending on the category of the road on which you drive and on the category of the motor vehicle driven. The maximum speed limit outside built-up area of 130 km/h, specified in this answer variant, is valid only for driving on motorways, for motor vehicles in categories A and B. Therefore, answer C cannot be correct.


The correct answer is: B
