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 maximum speed of 90 km/h on motorways and dual carriageways, regardless of their maximum authorized mass (MAM). That is why a truck of 7,000 kg MAM must not exceed 90 km/h. 100 km/h is the limit for buses, car-derived vehicles and adaptable dual-purpose vehicles, and 70 km/h is not a generic limit applicable on dual carriageways.
