Speed limits are enforced by local governments and police, though on the highway, you better be prepared to show some excessive g-force.

Speed limits in Alyska are determined by the following rules of thumb:

120 kph Rural controlled access divided highways
110 kph Other rural divided highways and controlled access divided highways on the periphery of urban areas
100 kph Undivided rural highways and controlled access divided highways in urban areas
90 kph Rural secondary roads
60-80 kph Major traffic arteries in urban areas
50 kph Commercial streets
40 kph Residential streets
30 kph School zones

Actual speed limits may vary depending upon local conditions and characteristics, but in general do not exceed these guidelines.

On the big motorways, none on two of the lanes and 75mph on the others. In towns, 30 mph. Right next to schools for short stretches of road, only 15 mph, but only when children are coming to/going from school.

The speed limit on most city streets and rural two-lane roads is 60–80 km/h, but the limit on expressways managed by the Korea Expressway Corporation ranges between 100 km/h and 120 km/h. Four-lane roads between cities generally have an 80 km/h limit.
There is a tolerance of 10 km/h over the posted limit and reduced fines for exceeding the limit by 10-20km/h.

Typical Yannian Speed Limits:
(Sub)Urban roads: 12 meyl (40 km/h - 25 mph)
Rural roads: 24 meyl (80 km/h - 50 mph)
Freeways/Motorways: 36 meyl (120 km/h - 75 mph)

In the same area, roads with more than 1 lane in either direction will typically have a speed limit
6 meyl ( 20 km/h - 12½ mph) higher than roads only 1 lane in either direction.
Freeways/Motorways always have at least 2 lanes in either direction, and are grade seperated.

The general speed limit in the bayan is 60 km/h as its minimum and 100 km/h is maximum, although 120 km/h is still allowed. Speed limits may often vary in some places where the landscape or the shape of the roads grow very erratic to prevent accidents caused by speeding in blind curves.

Being caught breaking speed limit would mean the driver going to detention centers under the KK who install speed checking columns on the streets where significant speed limits had been installed. Breaking the simple speed limit often ends up in highspeed chases with police cars and KK Dangan airships or choppers.

Cars
Motorways: No speed limit, unless specified by road signage. It is illegal to pass a police or Highways Agency vehicle showing flashing blue, amber, or red lights on the motorway.
A-Roads (dual carriageways): 110 kph
B-Roads (single carriageways): 80 kph
C-Roads (city streets): 45 kph

Cars towing caravans or trailers
Motorways: 100 kph
A-Roads (dual carriageways): 100 kph
B-Roads (single carriageways): 65 kph
C-Roads (city streets): 45 kph

Buses and coaches
Motorways: 130 kph
A-Roads (dual carriageways): 110 kph
B-Roads (single carriageways): 80 kph
C-Roads (city streets): 45 kph

Goods Vehicles (less than 7.5 tonnes)
Motorways: 130 kph (100 kph if articulated or towing a trailer)
A-Roads (dual carriageways): 110 kph (100 kph if articulated or towing a trailer)
B-Roads (single carriageways): 80 kph (65 kph if articulated or towing a trailer)
C-Roads (city streets): 45 kph

Heavy Goods Vehicles (more than 7.5 tonnes)
Motorways: 100 kph
A-Roads (dual carriageways): 100 kph
B-Roads (single carriageways): 80 kph
C-Roads (city streets): 45 kph

These speed limits apply unless signs on the road indicate other speed limits. Signs will never indicate a speed limit higher than the speed limits given above. The speed limit on the road for any class of vehicle is either the National Speed Limit or the new limit given on the sign, whichever is lower (e.g. if a sign on a motorway indicates a new maximum speed limit of 130 kph, then cars will have to limit their speed to 130 kph while HGVs will still travel at a maximum of 100 kph).

Speed limits are enforced through the use of speed cameras and police patrols. Automated average speed cameras take pictures of cars which are found, through the use of two separate speed sensors, to be travelling at a speed higher than the speed limit. Their number plates are read and speeding tickets are sent to the owner's address.

Though there is no general nationwide minimum speed limit (signs may establish a minimum speed in a certain area), police may pull over any vehicle they feel is travelling slow enough to present a danger to other road users or to present an obstruction of the highway (Dangerous Driving and Obstructing a Road or Highway are both criminal offences).

Speed limit varies but generally tends to be 65 kph in most regions of cities and towns, 50 kph in alleys, 35 kph in all unpaved roads, 100 kph in urban highways, 130 kph in rural highways
