Speed Limits around the World

Here's my comparison of different speed limits in different countries around the world. A good thing to know if you are planning on driving abroad.

Country	Speed Limit in town	Speed Limit on highways	Speed Limit on motorways
Canada	50km/h	80km/h	100km/h
Denmark	50km/h	80km/h	110km/h
France	50km/h	90km/h	130km/h
Germany	50km/h	100km/h	none unless shown
Great Britain	30mph	60mph	70mph
Ireland	50km/h	100km/h	120km/h
Italy	50km/h	90km/h	130km/h
Netherlands	50km/h	80km/h	100km/h
USA	25-30mph (varies by state)	55-70mph (varies by state)	55-70mph (varies by state)

This is just a general guide and you should definitely double check with the authorities the exact speed limits in the specific country where you wish to drive. Naturally local speed limits override national ones, so if you see a speed limit sign, stick to it.
