sebességkorlátozással

Sebességkorlátozás refers to the legally mandated maximum speed at which vehicles are permitted to travel on a particular section of road. These limits are established to enhance road safety, reduce the severity of accidents, and manage traffic flow. Speed limits are typically indicated by traffic signs, though in some jurisdictions, default speed limits apply to certain types of roads if no signs are present.

The implementation of speed limits is based on various factors, including the road's design, surrounding environment (e.g., residential areas, school zones, highways), traffic volume, and historical accident data. Lower speed limits are generally imposed in areas where there is a higher risk of pedestrian activity or where road conditions are less favorable. Conversely, higher limits are often found on well-maintained highways with limited points of access.

Exceeding the posted speed limit is a traffic violation and can result in penalties such as fines, demerit points on a driver's license, or even license suspension, depending on the severity of the infraction. Enforcement of speed limits is carried out by law enforcement agencies using various methods, including radar guns, speed cameras, and aircraft surveillance. The objective of sebességkorlátozás is not solely punitive, but primarily to create a safer driving environment for all road users.
