Other roads | |

| Heavy goods vehicles (> 3.5 t) | 80[2] | 80 | 80 | 70 | ||

| Cars and vans with trailers | 80 | 80 | 80 | 70 |
The limits shown above apply unless otherwise stated, as road signs may prescribe a lower or a higher speed limit (e.g. limits of 70 km/h or (occasionally) higher can be found on urban dual carriageways).
A higher night speed limit (60 km/h) used to apply in urban areas from 23:00 to 5:00 until 1 June 2021.[3]
