Are mopeds allowed to travel on motorways or dual carriageways?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Article 38(1) of the General Traffic Regulations prohibits mopeds from traveling on motorways and dual carriageways, and this prohibition does not depend on any sign. Their maximum design speed is 45 km/h, below the minimum of 60 km/h required on these roads, which would represent a serious danger to traffic flow and safety. That is why it is not permitted to use the right-hand shoulder either. It is false that the prohibition applies only if a sign indicates it: the prohibition is general. The exception the article recognizes for cyclists over 14 years old on the shoulder of some dual carriageways applies only to bicycles and never applies to mopeds.
