Signs and special cases
Sign 3.24 can set a lower or a higher limit, but no more than 80 km/h in a built-up area and 110 km/h outside. When carrying people in a lorry body or groups of children: 60 km/h maximum; when towing: 50 km/h.

Choose a safe speed
The limit is a maximum, not a target: take traffic, the road and the weather into account. When a hazard appears, slow down, up to stopping. Driving unnecessarily slowly and braking sharply when it isn’t needed to prevent an accident are prohibited.
Remember
- ✓ Built-up 60, outside 90, motorway 110 (cars)
- ✓ Residential zones and courtyards: 20
- ✓ Towing: 50
Common mistakes
- ✗ Assuming the town limit is 50 km/h — in Armenia it is 60
- ✗ Driving at 110 km/h on an ordinary road — 110 is only for motorways
