What is the maximum permitted speed on highways and dual carriageways for trucks and motorhomes exceeding 3,500 kg GVW?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to the General Traffic Regulations in Spain, speed limits on highways and dual carriageways depend on the vehicle type. For trucks, vans, articulated vehicles, and motorhomes over 3,500 kg GVW, the maximum limit is 90 km/h.   120 km/h is incorrect; this applies to cars and motorcycles.   100 km/h is incorrect; this applies to buses and mixed vehicles. This restriction is in place to ensure road safety due to the greater mass and braking distance required for heavy vehicles.
