Hi there
Re-posted in this forum -
I wonder if anyone knows the speed limit for 7.5 tonners in europe (specifically France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Spain, Portugal) on autoroutes.
I undertsand there is a 90km/h limit for HGVs >12t
So does anyone know the autoroute limit for 7.5t - 12t ?
Regards
Ryan
I believe it is 110 kph as can been seen on the back (the 3 round speed indicators) of all the 7.5 tonners that go flying past me
That’s what I was guessing at too.
Thanks for the reply.
Would be interested to hear other member’s thoughts too!

I concur with the 110 kph, but I have heard that this is going to change for everything over 3.5 tonnes and kph will be the limit…Don’t know when this is due to happen though
For a 7.5 tonne truck the limits are as follows.
U – Urban, all-purpose roads in built-up areas
G – General, all-purpose roads outside built-up areas
D – Dual carriageway and expressway roads
M – Motorways
France. U 50 km, G 80 km, D 100 km, M 110 km.
Belgium U 50 km, G 90 km, D 90 km, M 120 km.
Germany U 50 km, G 80 km, D 80 km, M 80 km.
Austria U 50 km, G 70 km, D 70 km, M 80 km.
Spain U 50 km, G 70 km, D 80 km, M 90 km.
Portugal U 50 km, G 80 km, D 80 km, M 90 km.
Hope that helps.
