Correct answer
mopeds.
Mopeds are prohibited from travelling on motorways, unlike motorcycles and lorries with a maximum authorised mass over 3,500 kg. This prohibition exists because mopeds cannot reach the minimum speed required to travel safely on these high-speed roads, where traffic moves at high speeds. Regulations allow only motor vehicles capable of reaching a speed of 60 km/h or more on a straight road, as well as special vehicles meeting certain requirements, to travel on motorways. In addition to mopeds, other vehicles such as cycles, animal-drawn vehicles, personal mobility vehicles (VMP), pedestrians and animals are also prohibited from travelling on motorways.
