Speed limits in Gandhara
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.
