Hints for this Quiz

Think of a calm, narrow city street: 30 km/h.
On narrow city streets (one lane in each direction) the standard limit is 30 km/h. This is safer for pedestrians and cyclists.
Autopista = the highest of our three limits.
On Spanish motorways (autopistas), the usual limit for passenger cars is 120 km/h. It’s the highest of the three limits in this mini-quiz.
A wide city avenida = 50 km/h.
On wide city avenues with two lanes in each direction, the limit is generally 50 km/h.
Pedestrians nearby = lower speed.
In areas with lots of pedestrian traffic, 30 km/h is the logical and safe limit.
Recall the three numbers and match them: quiet street – city avenida – motorway.
From lowest to highest: 30 < 50 < 120. This order helps you remember the contexts quickly: 30 (calle tranquila), 50 (avenida urbana), 120 (autopista).
An out-of-town multi-lane highway = the highest limit of the three.
In the picture you see a typical motorway: the standard limit here is 120 km/h (for cars).
