It was confirmed when and where the 60 km/h limit will apply

From 1 April 2023, the maximum speed limit for vechicles in the cities of Tashkent and Nukus and in the centers of regions and districts will be reduced from 70 kilometers to 60 kilometers per hour.  This was stated in the state program on the implementation of the development strategy of New Uzbekistan for the period of 2022-2026, signed by the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev yesterday, 28 February.

Earlier, it was said that starting from 1 June of this year, the maximum speed of vehicles in all settlements of Uzbekistan will be reduced from 70 kilometers per hour to 60 kilometers per hour.  However, taking into account the received proposals, it was determined that this restriction will apply only in the centers of cities and regions.
