Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to Article 48(1)(a) of the General Traffic Regulations, trucks, tractor units, vans, articulated vehicles and automobiles with a trailer (whatever the mass of the trailer) have a general maximum speed of 90 km/h on motorways and dual carriageways, regardless of their maximum authorized mass (MAM). A maximum speed sign (R-301) only prohibits exceeding the figure it indicates: even if it showed 100 km/h, the truck must not exceed the general limit of 90 km/h. The 120 km/h is that of passenger cars and motorcycles, and the 100 km/h that of buses, car-derived vehicles and adaptable dual-purpose vehicles.
