Limits in rural areas[]

Historically, maximum speed limit in Georgia was 90 km/h as there were no motorways in the country. With the change of government in 2004 and activation of country's economy, the construction of first motorway started. The motorway forms the one of the main transit routes of the country – S1/E60. Currently, the motorway part of the route spans from north exit of Tbilisi to , a small village near Khashuri.
