What is the main difference between driving on a motorway and driving on other types of road?
Pick an answer to test yourself.
Correct answer
Traffic is generally permitted to travel at a higher speed on a motorway.
Official explanation
Motorways are designed so that traffic can move faster and more freely without traffic lights, crossroads, level crossings, and other road features that might slow down traffic. There are also restrictions on who may use a motorway—for example, learner drivers and motorcycles under 50 cc are prohibited.
