The general rule is 90 km/h outside city boundaries, 120 km/h on the highway and 50 km/h within city boundaries, unless you see another speed limit sign (sometimes 70km/h outside cities and 30km/h near schools).
How to know if you entered a city boundary? When entering a city, you will see a sign like the attached samples. Once you exit a city, the same sign will be crossed out in red.
