In residential areas, signalled as such, the speed must not exceed 20 km/h.
When you drive through uncontrolled intersections, you have the obligation to drive with a speed which does not exceed 30 km/h in the urban area or 50 km/h outside the urban area and to apply “the right‑hand priority rule”.
In pedestrian areas, signalled as such, the speed must not exceed 5 km/h.
If you would tick answers A and C as correct you would agree that in residential areas signalled as such it is allowed to drive with a speed between 21 and 30 km/h and that in pedestrian areas signalled as such it is allowed to drive with a speed between 6 and 30 km/h, which is wrong
The correct answer is: B
Regulation** - Article 158
(1) In the residential area, signalled as such, pedestrians may use the entire width of the carriageway, and children’s play is allowed.
(2) The drivers of vehicles are obliged to drive with a speed of no more than 20 km/h, not to wait or park the vehicle outside the spaces specially designated and signalled as such, not to hinder or impede the circulation of pedestrians even if, for this purpose, they must stop.
Regulation** - Article 123
The driver of a vehicle is obliged to drive with a speed which does not exceed 30 km/h in the urban area or 50 km/h outside the urban area, in the following situations:

Regulation** - Article 159
In the pedestrian area, signalled as such, the driver of a vehicle may enter only if he lives in this area or performs public services “from door to door” and has no other access possibility. He is obliged to drive with a maximum speed of 5 km/h, not to hinder or impede the circulation of pedestrians and, if necessary, to stop to allow their circulation.
