Here we divert your attention to the speed legislation from the Law on Road Traffic Safety of Montenegro:
Article 31
Driver shall be obliged to adjust speed of the vehicle to circumstances, features and conditions on
the road, visibility, layouts, atmosphere conditions, state and load of the vehicle, density of traffic
and other traffic conditions, so as to be able to timely bring the vehicle to a standstill in front of
any obstacle foreseeable under the above mentioned circumstances. Driver shall not be allowed to
slow down the vehicle to the extent, which presents an obstacle to normal traffic.
Article 32
Driver must not operate a vehicle at a speed more than 50 km/h on settlement roads, i.e. at a
speed exceeding the speed allowed by traffic sign posted for the whole or the part of settlement.
Exempt from the paragraph 1 of this Article, movement of vehicle may be allowed at a speed
limit exceeding 50 km/h, but at maximum speed of 80 km/h on a settlement road where traffic
and technical elements make that possible.
On an outside settlement road, a driver must not operate a vehicle at a speed exceeding:
1) 130 km/h on motorways;
2) 100 km/h on roads reserved for motor vehicle traffic;
3) 80 km/h on other roads.
On an outside settlement road, a driver must not operate a vehicle at a speed exceeding the speed
limited by a traffic sign posted on the road.
Article 33
Speed of a motor vehicle must not be limited by a traffic sign, which limits the speed at less than
40 km/h under normal traffic conditions.
Article 34
The following speed limits of motorway vehicles apply to the following vehicles:
1) 80 km/h – for busses and motor vehicle towing lightweight trailers, whose maximum
