According to the guidelines, motor vehicles must be driven on roads or highways in accordance with this speed limit. It has been said that the maximum speed limit of motor vehicles on roads or highways adjacent to various educational institutions, religious institutions, hospitals, residential areas and haat-bazar etc. will be determined by local government institutions or road builders or appropriate institutions. But in no case shall it exceed 40 km/h in case of national highways and 30 km/h in case of regional highways.
However, the speed limit will be relaxed in case of vehicles engaged in emergency services, such as ambulance, fire service etc.
This mandatory maximum speed limit is said to apply only under normal conditions. However, the controllable safe speed limit will be applicable in adverse conditions such as inclement weather, hot sun, heavy rain, dense fog etc. If visibility is severely reduced or not visible at all, stop driving.
