The typical speed limits in France are:
50 km in any town and village(from the sign at the entrance, to the sign marking the exit); this may be lowered in specific areas (next to schools, or in sectors where there are many pedestrians) to 30 km/h - or any speed that is judged best by the local council. When it is not stated otherwise, the speed limit is always 50 km/h and the fact you passed the entrance signpost is enough for the driver to know it.
90 km/h on regular roads, out of towns; the speed limit is not usually signposted.
110 km/h on expressways (typically dual carriageways - they are toll-free; the speed limit is always signposted);
130 km/h on highways. (some are free, some have tolls; the speed limit is always signposted).
In foggy conditions the speed must be reduced to 50km/h on any road including highways if the visibility is under 50 metres.
When it is raining the higher speed limits are reduced: 90>80kmh, 110>100kmh, 130>110kmh.

∙ 14y agoThere are two main types of motorways in France.
- The 'autoroute' (usually three or more lanes in each direction) has a standard speed limit of 130 km (80mi) per hour, 110 under raining conditions.
- The 'voie rapide' (expressway) has usually two lanes in each direction. The standard speed limit is 110 km per hour, 100 when raining.
A speed limit of 50 km per hour is set on both under dense fog conditions, but this is very rarely enforced and very rarely obeyed.
Speed limits may be stricter, as on any French road. The normal speed limit, and the reduced ones, are always signposted on the side of the road; reminders are signposted 'rappel'.

∙ 14y agothe common speed limits in France are:
130 km/hour on motorways, 110 when raining;
110 km/hour on expressways (usually dual carriageways in both directions), 100 when raining;
90 km/h on regular roads;
50 km/h in town and villages, unless posted otherwise; the town boundaries are marked by signs at the entrance and at the exit; the town council may decide to lower the speed limit in certain areas.
All the speed limits are signposted on motorways, expressways, and where special limits are set. Nearly all the other speed limits are signposted, although town entrance signs are legally enough to warn drivers that their speed should not be over 50 km/h.

∙ 10y agoSpeed limits are set in accordance with state law, and thus, they vary in accordance with state law. In some parts of Texas, you can legally drive 80 MPH on the Interstate. Other states will limit you to 65 MPH on open highway. Speed limits typically slow down in urban and built up areas.
