Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Article 50(1) of the General Traffic Regulations sets a generic limit of 30 km/h on urban roads with a single lane in each direction of travel, which also applies to trucks with a maximum authorized mass (MAM) of more than 3,500 kg. 50 km/h is the limit on roads with two or more lanes in each direction, and 20 km/h is that of single-platform roads, where roadway and sidewalk are at the same level. 40 km/h is not the limit for this truck: it applies to vehicles carrying dangerous goods on urban roads with two or more lanes in each direction and on roads passing through a town (travesías). The municipal authority may lower these limits or, exceptionally, raise to 50 km/h that of single-lane roads, always with specific signage.
