Two new laws of the Highway Code in force

13 years, 9 months ago - 24 February 2011

Two new changes applied since February 2011 have been made to the regulations about the highway code. In fact, the authorities have undertaken a process of harmonization with regard to speed limits.

First, the speed limit speed of passing zone of 40-50 km/h to 60 km/h.

Second, the speed limit on highways was revised following: motorways, A-roads (main roads through cities and towns), B-roads (main roads within cities and villages) and UR roads (road not part of the categories mentioned).

Speed limit for traffic traveling on the highways

Cars - 110 km/h

Motorcycles - 80 km/h instead of 110 km/h

Mopeds - 80 km/h instead of 40 km/hr

Buses/trucks with total weight not exceeding 3.5 tonnes - 80 km/h instead of 70 km/h

Truck with one or more trailers - 60 km/h instead of 50-55 km/h

Speed limit for users of A/B/UR roads

The minimum speed of 40 km/h passes a maximum of 60 km/h. However, the government prerogative to revise downwards this limitation is still.
