BDifficulty 2/5

A lorry with a maximum authorised mass of 3,500 kg, carrying neither dangerous goods nor operating as special transport, travels on a paved conventional road outside built-up areas. With no lower applicable limit, what is its general maximum speed?

Correct answer

80 kilometres per hour.

80 km/h, under Article 48.1.a. This follows its classification as a lorry even when maximum authorised mass does not exceed 3,500 kg; the car limit does not apply merely because of that mass. Shoulder presence or width does not increase the maximum. Observe lower limits and adapt speed to conditions; unpaved roads and dangerous-goods transport have different rules.
