CDifficulty 1/5

A lorry with a maximum authorised mass above 3,500 kg, carrying no dangerous goods and performing no other special transport operation, travels on an urban road with two general-use lanes in each direction and pavements separate from the carriageway. With no specific signs, what is its general maximum speed?

Correct answer

50 km/h.

50 km/h. An urban road with two or more lanes per direction has a general limit of 50 km/h; reserved lanes do not count. The urban limit does not become 40 km/h merely because the lorry exceeds 3,500 kg: 40 km/h applies to dangerous-goods transport on this type of road and on travesías. Urban roads with one lane per direction generally have a 30 km/h limit, and a shared carriageway-and-pavement platform has a 20 km/h limit. Always adapt speed to conditions.
