Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: Traffic is generally permitted to travel at a higher speed on a motorway..
Motorways are designed so that traffic can move faster and more freely; without traffic lights; crossroads; level crossings and other road features that might slow down traffic. There are also restrictions on who may use a motorway ? for example L-drivers and motorcycles under 50 cc are prohibited.
