DDifficulty 3/5

A bus fitted with seat belts, carrying no standing passengers and not performing school or child transport, travels on a conventional road outside a built-up area signed as a road for motor vehicles. With no lower specific limit, what is its general maximum speed?

Correct answer

90 kilometres per hour.

90 km/h. A road-for-motor-vehicles sign does not turn a conventional road into a motorway or dual carriageway. Article 48 sets 90 km/h for this bus on a conventional road. The rule in force since 1 October 2026 limits buses without seat belts or with authorised standing passengers to 80 km/h on any road outside built-up areas; those cases are excluded here. School or child transport also has its specific reduction. Observe any applicable lower limits.
