Key Concepts & Definitions

Basic speed limit outside a city: The default maximum speed allowed on a primary highway outside a city, town, or village, unless otherwise indicated by signage. AUTHOR (date): "The basic speed limit outside a city, town or village on a primary highway is 100 km/h unless otherwise posted."

Primary highway speed limit: The standard speed limit set for main roads that connect urban areas, typically 100 km/h unless specific signs specify a different limit.

Posted speed limit exceptions: Specific speed limits that are indicated by traffic signs which override the default basic speed limit. Drivers must obey these posted limits at all times, including when passing other vehicles.

Essential Points
