Depends what you mean by normal. In a built up area 30 m.p.h. On open dual carriageways 70m.p.h. Even if the limit is stated the driving conditions if bad should dictate a lower speed. |

Define "Normal Road". The speed limits can be: 20mph, 30mph, 40mph, 50mph, 60mph, 70mph.
I suggest a review of the highway code may be in order |

60mph is the National speed limit. This is raised to 70 on dual carriageways and motorways unless told otherwise via overhead or roadside signs. |

Live in Manitoba, Canada
Highway Traffic Act states
Urban (in cities and towns) 50 kph (appr 31mph)
unless otherwise specified. Rural roads and highways, are 90 kph (appr 56 mph) unless otherwise specified. All jurisdictions have to have the same rules, otherwise there would be no speed limut, where there is no signs. |

I take it by 'normal road' you mean a road with no speed signs and street lamps, its 30 in those areas but its really whatever you can get away with, although the way the track is blocked these days its getting more and more difficult to make any decent high speed progress.
And before anyone tries to give me a hard time for that dont bother, i drive as fast as possible whenever possible, yes i know the consequences and no i dont care - at all.
Dont give a stuff about road safety, other road users or some dimwits spawn running out into the road. |

Check the highway code. |

In a town 30 Mph unless it states otherwise.
dual carriageway in town start at 30 and go up to 50mph and of course you have to look out for the signs.
Normal road in the country = 60mph unless it states otherwise
dual carriageways & Motorways = 70mph unless the signs state otherwise. |

Unless indicated 30 mph in built up areas, 60 mph single carriageways, 70 mph dual carriageways and motorways, unless temporary signs indicate otherwise. Pity voice of reason doesn't live up to his name. We can but hope that if his driving kills someone, the obvious person gets killed. |

What's a normal road?
In a residential area it is normally 30mph. If there are lamp-posts, assume it is 30mph unless otherwise stated.
Single carriageways = 60mph, dual carriageways = 70mph and motorways = 70mph. These limits are for cars (including car derived vans and motorcycles). There are slightly different limits for cars towing caravans or trailers, buses, coaches, goods vehicles and heavy good vehicles.
Check your highway code if you are driving. You should, as a driver, be aware of the limits. |
