BDifficulty 2/5

Outside built-up areas, is it correct to say an animal-drawn vehicle’s maximum is always the animals’ trotting speed, regardless of the road and signs?

Correct answer

No; observe applicable limits and adapt speed to the road and circumstances.

No. Current Article 48 does not prescribe a specific limit defined by trotting speed. Observe the limits applicable to the road and its signs and adapt speed to circumstances under Article 45. For example, unpaved roads have a 30 km/h maximum; that does not make reaching it safe in every case. There is also no universal 20 km/h maximum for every situation. The trotting reference comes from an older version of the regulations.
