Speed limits in Finland are generally:
Motorways: 120 km/h In winter limits are often lowered to 100 km/h as decided each year by local authority. Motorways close to urban areas are always 100 km/h. Main provincial roads (paved)- 100 km/h or 80 km/h (by location, and often in winter). Rural roads- 80 km/h (paved or gravel), unless otherwise indicated. Within a built-up area- 50 km/h unless otherwise indicated.
The speed limits in Finland are 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 100 and 120 km/h. But the signs are always displayed with the actual speed limit value rather than having «end of speed limit» signs, unlike most other countries in Europe.
