English Speed Limits
- 1/25At entering a residential street with children playing
In Morocco, narrow residential streets require low speeds to protect pedestrians and children. 30 km/h ensures enough stopping distance in unexpected situations.
If driving on a rural paved road outside a town
Moroccos general rural road limit is 100 km/h unless signs indicate lower limits. This balances efficient travel with safety on open roads.
While approaching a school zone during active hours
Active school zones require slowing to 30 km/h to ensure drivers can react to children crossing or entering the road.
At joining a Moroccan motorway
Motorways are designed for higher speeds, with a default maximum of 120 km/h, provided weather and traffic conditions allow safe driving.
If roadworks are ahead with workers present
Construction zones require lower speeds for worker safety and to navigate uneven surfaces safely.
When driving on an unpaved rural road
Gravel or dirt roads require reduced speeds to maintain vehicle control and reduce dust hazard.
While negotiating a hazardous curve with warning signs
Sharp curves increase the risk of skidding. Lowering speed improves grip and reaction time.
If heavy rain reduces visibility
Even if the legal limit is higher, in poor weather drivers must adjust speed for safety under Moroccan traffic law.
At approaching a roundabout in an urban area
Roundabouts in cities require slow entry speeds to yield safely and merge without collisions.
While descending a steep mountain road
Downhill slopes demand lower speeds to prevent brake overheating and maintain safe stopping ability.
When entering a tunnel
Tunnels require lower speeds to allow safe stopping distance in dim lighting and reduced escape options.
If visibility is reduced by fog
Fog increases stopping distances. Reducing to 50 km/h or lower keeps travel safe until visibility improves.
While overtaking on a rural road
Morocco allows temporary acceleration to 110 km/h for overtaking in safe conditions on rural highways.
At approaching a pedestrian crossing without traffic lights
Slowing to 20 km/h allows drivers to yield safely to pedestrians and stop if needed.
If strong crosswinds are affecting vehicle stability
High winds can push vehicles off course. Lowering speed helps maintain control and lane position.
On a wet motorway surface
Wet surfaces reduce grip. 100 km/h ensures adequate control and stopping distance on Moroccan motorways.
While approaching a livestock crossing sign in rural areas
Livestock crossings require slower speeds to avoid collisions with animals that may move unpredictably.
If overtaking is prohibited but the lane ahead is clear
Even if the road looks clear, overtaking bans mean maintaining current speed to prevent legal violations and ensure safety.
While entering a ferry boarding area
Ferry docks require very low speeds for safe maneuvering and pedestrian movement.
On gravel mountain passes
Gravel mountain roads require slower speeds for traction and to prevent vehicle damage from loose stones.
At approaching a hidden intersection without signs
Slowing ensures enough time to observe and react to unseen cross-traffic.
When leaving a motorway via an exit ramp
Exit ramps may have sharper curves. Reducing to 60 km/h improves safety during the transition.
While driving near road flooding
Low speed prevents hydroplaning and minimizes splash impact on pedestrians or other vehicles.
On a narrow bridge without guardrails
Slower speeds help maintain control and reduce the impact risk on narrow structures.
If driving through an area with heavy pedestrian activity at night
Lower speeds in dark, crowded areas allow drivers to see and react to pedestrians crossing unexpectedly.
