The default speed limits in Gandhara are 50 km/h (31 mph) inside built-up areas, 70 km/h (43 mph) outside built-up areas, and 100 km/h (62 mph) on expressways. There is no default speed limit on freeways, but a general advisory speed limit of 120 km/h (75 mph), although some parts of Gandhara's freeway system have speed limits based on local traffic situations and safety issues. The default speed limits apply only if there are no other signs present, as a lower or higher speed limit may be denoted. In urban residential areas, 30 km/h (19 mph) zones are found.
With regard to the absence of a default speed limit on freeways, the law in Gandhara requires drivers to adapt their speed to road, traffic, visibility, and weather conditions, as well as to their personal skills and the characteristics of the vehicle and load. Irresponsible speeding can lead to liability under the law.
There is no minimum speed on Gandhari motorways. However, only motorized vehicles capable of driving at least 50 km/h and 60 km/h (37 mph) are allowed to enter expressways and freeways, respectively.
Speed limits by vehicle type
Trucks and cars or vans pulling a trailer with a total weight of 3.5 metric tons or more are restricted to 80 km/h (50 mph). Buses and cars or vans with a trailer with a total weight of less than 3.5 tons (with the trailer weighing less than 750 kg) are allowed to drive 80 km/h on expressways and 90 km/h (56 mph) on freeways.
Motorcycles have the same speed limits as cars, while mopeds are restricted to 30 km/h inside built-up areas and to 40 km/h (25 mph) outside built-up areas.
Motorized vehicles with a limited speed, like tractors, are allowed to drive on the road inside and outside inhabited places. These types of vehicles are restricted to 25 km/h (16 mph).
The following table shows the various default speed limits that apply to different types of vehicles travelling on four different types of road.
