A '''[[speed limit]]''' is the limit of speed allowed by law for road vehicles, usually the maximum speed allowed. Occasionally, there is a minimum speed limit.<ref>{{Cite web |title= Speeds on Rural Interstate Highways Relative to Posting the 40 mph Minimum Speed Limit {{!}} Bureau of Transportation Statistics |url= http://www.rita.dot.gov/bts/sites/rita.dot.gov.bts/files/publications/journal_of_transportation_and_statistics/volume_07_number_23/html/paper_06/index.html |website= rita.dot.gov |access-date= 29 November 2015 |archive-date= 24 November 2015 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20151124053849/http://www.rita.dot.gov/bts/sites/rita.dot.gov.bts/files/publications/journal_of_transportation_and_statistics/volume_07_number_23/html/paper_06/index.html |url-status= dead }}</ref> Advisory speed limits also exist, which are recommended but not mandatory speeds. Speed limits are commonly set by the legislative bodies of national or local governments.

==Overview==
The following tables show various jurisdictions' [[Speed limit#Maximum speed limits|default speed limit]]s (where applicable) that apply to different types of vehicles travelling on three different types of road. Actual speed limits may range beyond these values. The enforcement tolerance is specified in km/h or percentage above the stated limit.

Germany is the only country where some motorways do not have a maximum speed limit. The 130 km/h is sign-posted as a general advisory speed limit for motorways in the entry of the country. Due to those [[Autobahn]]s, Germany is considered a country without a general speed limit on its highways.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/motoring/a/18958067/fun-fun-fun-on-the-autobahn |title=Fun, fun, fun on the autobahn |date=16 September 2013 |access-date=25 November 2010}}</ref> The [[Isle of Man]] is the only jurisdiction without a general speed limit on rural two-lane roads.

===Definitions===
Numerous countries have a different general speed limit for urban roads than on remaining roads. Such differences exist since the beginning of the 20th century, in countries such as United Kingdom and France. This concept is formally defined as road within built-up area in various regulations, including the Vienna Convention, even if the UK has re-branded them as street lighted or restricted areas. More informally they are known as urban roads. In 2017, most of all IRTAD countries have a default speed limit in urban roads of 50 km/h, with various lower speeds, for instance, in the Netherlands, 70% of the urban roads are limited to 30 km/h.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.itf-oecd.org/sites/default/files/docs/speed-crash-risk.pdf |title=Speed and Crash Risk |website=itf-oecd.org |access-date=2020-06-16}}</ref>

Some countries, for instance the US, India or China, do not have a specific urban road maximum speed.

Different speed limits exist for heavy goods vehicles (HGV) but the limits for HGVs are country dependent: while most Eurasian and American countries might use the Vienna Convention's 3.5-tonne limit, other countries in North America, China, India, Australia or Ireland might use different weight limits.

<ref name="UK3" group="fn">
In general, non-urban, all-purpose dual carriageways are subject to the same 70 mph limit for light vehicles as motorways, but lower limits (50 and 60 mph) are in place for heavy trucks, buses/minibuses and towing vehicles. For instance, steeper or more winding alignments and less forgiving junctions than would be found on motorways necessitate lower limits for some stretches.</ref>
<ref name="UK4" group="fn">
Generally in the UK, lorries over a laden weight of {{convert|7500|kg|LT|abbr=on}} are speed-limited to {{cvt|56|mph}} even where they are legally permitted a higher speed. There are reduced limits for commercial vehicles and larger passenger vehicle. See [[Road speed limits in the United Kingdom]]</ref>
<ref name="AUS2" group="fn">
No special limit applies for automobiles with trailers. A 100 km/h speed limit applies for heavy vehicles with a gross vehicle mass of 12 tonnes or more. A 100 km/h limit applies for buses with a gross vehicle mass of 5 tonnes or more. In some Australian states, [[Road Train]]s are limited to 90 km/h. In some cases, over steep descents or other potentially dangerous stretches of road, heavy vehicles may have other special speed limits as indicated by signage.</ref>

<ref name="US1" group="fn">
The lower speed limit in large inner-cities may be as low as {{convert|45|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} for example on I-90/94 which goes through Chicago. In many urban areas, controlled-access highways typically take 5 – 15 mph off the speed limit. For example, in Cleveland and Cuyahoga county, the speed limit is {{convert|60|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}. Once out of the county, the speed limit returns to {{convert|65|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}.</ref>
<ref name="US2" group="fn">The state of Hawaii posts a {{convert|55|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} speed limit on many [[Interstate highways]].</ref>
