Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Article 48(1)(a) of the General Traffic Regulations sets 80 km/h as the general limit on conventional roads for trucks, tractor units, vans and articulated vehicles, without distinguishing by shoulder width: the fact that it measures 1.40 meters does not affect the limit. Moreover, the truck must not exceed that limit to overtake: the 20 km/h margin, which only passenger cars and motorcycles had, has been repealed since 21 March 2022 (Law 18/2021, Article 51 of the Regulations). Therefore, neither 70 km/h nor an overtaking margin is correct.
