DDifficulty 3/5

An articulated bus with all passengers seated and fitted with seatbelts travels on a paved conventional road outside a built-up area. It is not providing school or minors’ transport and has no lower limit or other special regime. What is its general maximum speed?

Correct answer

90 kilometres per hour.

90 km/h. An articulated bus remains a bus: articulation does not give it the limit for a lorry with a semitrailer. Buses with standing passengers or not fitted with seatbelts have an 80 km/h maximum outside built-up areas, subject to lower limits. The exception allowing 100 km/h to be set on certain physically divided conventional roads does not include buses. Always adapt speed to conditions.
