A lorry with a MAM of 7,000 kg, not carrying dangerous goods, travels on a dual carriageway outside a built-up area with no lower specific limit. What is its general maximum speed?

Correct answer

90 km/h.

The general lorry limit on motorways and dual carriageways outside built-up areas is 90 km/h under Article 48.1.a. Obey lower specific limits and adapt speed to conditions; when carrying dangerous goods, the general limit is reduced by 10 km/h. The current limit for motor vehicles towing trailers on these roads is also 90 km/h, without the former distinction between trailers up to 750 kg and heavier trailers.
