Section: Speed Limits (53-53)
  • Article 53 

     Motor vehicle drivers shall abide by the following:

    1. Not exceed the maximum speed limit for motor vehicles on the road, as determined by a Ministerial decision. Drivers of police vehicles, and ambulances and fire-fighters responding to an emergency are exempted, as is any driver of a vehicle transporting patients or seriously injured persons provided they use an alarm and hazard lights and slow down as much as possible for the safety of traffic at junctions.

    2. Reduce speed when approaching pedestrian crossings and residential areas, turnings, bends and ramps, and junctions, roundabouts, bridges and tunnels, and when entering public squares, or approaching schools and hospitals, to ensure road safety.

    3. Control the vehicle and adjust their speed according to the circumstances, road conditions, the state of the vehicle and its load and the weather conditions, so that speed can be reduced or the vehicle can be stopped if necessary.

    4. Not drive the vehicle too slowly at a speed inconsistent with the road conditions, the state of the vehicle and its load and the weather conditions, in such a way as to impede the normal movement of other vehicles, unless there is a reasonable justification.

    5. Not brake suddenly to slow down or stop the vehicle, unless necessitated by a traffic safety requirement on the road.

    6. Give sufficient clear warning when starting to slow down.
