CDifficulty 3/5

A lorry that is not carrying dangerous goods or performing another special transport operation travels outside a built-up area on a conventional road signed as a road for motor vehicles. With no lower specific limit, what is its general maximum speed?

Correct answer

80 km/h.

It is 80 km/h. A road-for-motor-vehicles sign does not turn a conventional road into a motorway or dual carriageway. Shoulder width does not raise this limit. A lorry’s general motorway or dual-carriageway maximum is 90 km/h; dangerous goods or other special cases can reduce limits. Always respect lower restrictions and adapt speed to conditions. Overtaking does not permit exceeding the limit.
