CDifficulty 1/5

An ordinary 9,000 kg MAM lorry, without dangerous goods or special transport, travels on a motorway outside a built-up area. With no lower specific limit, what is its general maximum speed?

Correct answer

At 90 kilometres per hour.

90 km/h. Obey lower limits and adapt speed to road, vehicle and traffic conditions. Dangerous-goods transport and other special regimes can have different restrictions and are excluded here. The current general motorway and dual-carriageway limit for motor vehicles towing trailers does not distinguish trailers up to 750 kg from heavier ones: both have 90 km/h, subject to other applicable limits. Overtaking does not authorise exceeding the maximum.
