Legal status: Case law / final constitutional order
Summary: The Italian Constitutional Court treated the duty to adapt speed under Article 141 of the Highway Code as sufficiently determinate despite its context-dependent wording. The duty is assessed from concrete circumstances, not only a numeric speed limit.
Význam: Supports the point that legal traffic-rule compliance by an ADS may require contextual behaviour beyond observing a posted numeric limit.
