A speed limit is how fast you are allowed to drive a vehicle like a car or a van on a public road.

In the United Kingdom, when you are on a dual carriageway, you can drive at any speed up to 60 miles an hour. This is the speed limit. When you are on a motorway in the United Kingdom, you can drive at 70 miles an hour. In France, on motorways you can drive at 130 kilometres per hour, which is the same as 80 miles per hour.
