Attention, drivers! Speed limits lowered at several locations in Budapest

The Budapest Transport Center (BKK) is implementing changes to speed limits across the city as part of ongoing efforts to enhance road safety outlined in the Traffic Safety Strategy. The adjustments, which lower speed limits in key areas, aim to reduce traffic speeds and improve overall safety for all road users.

The implementation of measures from the Traffic Safety Strategy continues in Budapest, as announced by the Budapest Transport Center (BKK), which stated that the maximum allowable speed will be reduced in several locations to promote safer driving.

The revised speed limits include:

• On Andrássy Avenue, between Oktogon and Bajcsy-Zsilinszky Street, the speed limit is reduced from 50 km/h to 40 km/h.
• On Bécsi Road, between Vörösvári Road and Reménység Street, the limit decreases from 60 km/h to 50 km/h.
• On Váci Road, between Róbert Károly Boulevard and Dózsa Street, the limit drops from 70 km/h to 50 km/h.

BKK plans to consult with the relevant districts regarding additional locations for speed limit changes.

These reductions are in line with the previously approved Road Network Plan, aiming to adjust maximum speed limits to better match the roles of the road network and public spaces. Following the introduction of the new speed limits, experts will closely monitor the effects of these changes on traffic flow, including continuous speed measurements on the affected road sections.

Currently, investigations are underway on Attila Street between Mikó Street and Alagút Street, where speed reduction measures were implemented earlier this month. Starting Wednesday, 26 speed measuring devices equipped by the Capital City Municipality are operational, capable of monitoring traffic in 47 lanes.
