kiirustikule
Kiirustikule is an Estonian term that translates to "speed limit" or "speed restriction." It refers to the maximum legally permissible speed at which vehicles are allowed to travel on a particular road or in a specific area. Speed limits are established by local authorities or national legislation and are typically indicated by road signs. The purpose of speed limits is to enhance road safety, reduce the severity of accidents, and manage traffic flow. Different speed limits are often set for various types of roads, such as highways, urban areas, and residential zones. Factors influencing the determination of speed limits include road design, traffic volume, pedestrian activity, and environmental considerations. Exceeding the posted kiirustikule can result in fines, penalty points on a driver's license, or other legal consequences. Adherence to kiirustikule is a fundamental aspect of responsible driving and contributes to overall road safety for all users.
