CDifficulty 3/5

A lorry carrying no dangerous goods and performing no special transport travels on a conventional road outside a built-up area, with one lane each way and a two-metre paved shoulder. With no lower specific limit, what is its general maximum speed?

Correct answer

80 km/h

80 km/h. Shoulder width does not increase that general lorry limit. On motorways and dual carriageways its general limit would be 90 km/h. Observe lower limits and adapt speed to conditions. Dangerous-goods transport reduces the applicable limit by 10 km/h, and special transport has its own conditions; those cases are excluded here. Overtaking does not permit adding 20 km/h.
