What maximum speed must an animal-drawn vehicle not exceed when driving on roads outside built-up areas?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations establish specific limits for certain vehicles that lack speedometers or engines. In the case of animal-drawn vehicles, the rule states that their maximum speed shall be the animals' trot (Art. 48). This means it is prohibited for animals to travel at a gallop, both for road safety and vehicle control. The numeric options (20 or 30 km/h) are incorrect because the law defines the limit based on the animal's gait rather than a fixed kilometer figure.
