What is the general maximum speed limit permitted for a passenger car on highways and motorways?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is 120 km/h. According to the General Traffic Regulations, passenger cars and motorcycles have a generic maximum speed limit of 120 km/h on highways (autopistas) and motorways (autovías). It is essential to distinguish based on the type of vehicle: 120 km/h: Passenger cars, motorcycles, motorhomes (up to 3,500 kg), and pick-ups. 100 km/h: Buses, car-derived vehicles, and adaptable mixed vehicles. 90 km/h: Trucks, tractor units, vans, large motorhomes (3,500 kg), and vehicles with trailers. Therefore, 100 km/h and 90 km/h are limits applicable to other vehicle groups, but not to a standard passenger car.
