C1Difficulty 2/5

An ordinary lorry, not performing special transport or carrying dangerous goods, travels on a road reserved for motor vehicles outside a built-up area. With no justified reason to travel more slowly, below what general speed does Article 49 prohibit travelling?

Correct answer

40 km/h

Below 40 km/h: half the 80 km/h general maximum applicable to that lorry on this road. This is not the general 60 km/h motorway and dual-carriageway minimum. Traffic, vehicle or road conditions may justify travelling below the minimum to avoid risk; exceptions are not limited to breakdowns or emergencies.
