Correct answer
90 km/h.
90 km/h. A lorry’s general limit on motorways and dual carriageways outside built-up areas is 90 km/h, and on conventional roads it is 80 km/h. Current rules do not split vehicles towing trailers into separate limits according to whether the trailer weighs up to 750 kg or more: their general motorway and dual-carriageway limit is also 90 km/h. Observe lower limits and adapt speed to conditions. Dangerous goods and other special regimes can impose lower limits; those cases are excluded here.
