CDifficulty 1/5

An ordinary lorry, performing neither special nor dangerous-goods transport, travels on a conventional road with one lane per direction and a paved shoulder wider than 1.50 m. With no lower specific limit, what is its general maximum speed?

Correct answer

80 km/h.

It is 80 km/h. Shoulder width does not increase the lorry’s limit, and overtaking does not permit exceeding it. Dangerous-goods transport and other specific cases may have different limits, excluded here. Observe lower limits and adapt speed to visibility, grip, traffic and vehicle characteristics.
