What is the general maximum speed for a lorry on a paved conventional road outside built-up areas, without dangerous goods or another applicable lower limit?

Correct answer

80 km/h.

The general limit in these conditions is 80 km/h under Article 48. It cannot be increased to 90 km/h for overtaking. Observe lower signed limits or limits applicable to the vehicle or transport, and adapt speed to conditions; dangerous-goods transport has its corresponding limit reduced by 10 km/h.
