Core: Maximum speeds per road type: the five-rung ladder

Woonerf (15 km/u) and 30 km-zone (30 km/u) are special road sections WITHIN the built-up area — they locally replace the ordinary 50 there. Within the built-up area, 50 km/u is the default, unless a sign locally indicates otherwise — the 30-zone and the woonerf are exactly such sign-based exceptions, not a separate legal category next to the built-up area. Outside the built-up area, on an ordinary road such as the N225, it is 80 km/u — that figure does NOT apply on an autoweg. On an autoweg outside the built-up area it is 100 km/u — a separate road type with its own signage (blue sign, car silhouette), not simply 'a faster ordinary road'. The autosnelweg sits above this ladder with a standard of 130 km/u; the commonly heard '100 on the motorway' is not a separate road type here, but the time-bound daytime reduction covered in maxima.daglimiet_100 — do not confuse the two.
