What is the maximum speed limit for trucks in built-up areas?

The maximum speed limit for trucks in built-up areas is 50 km/h. This speed limit is set to ensure the safety of all road users, including pedestrians and cyclists, as built-up areas often have a higher density of traffic and potential hazards. Trucks, due to their size and weight, require a longer stopping distance compared to smaller vehicles, making it crucial to control their speed. Keeping the speed to 50 km/h helps mitigate the impact of any potential accidents and allows truck drivers to react appropriately to sudden changes in traffic conditions or obstacles in the road.

In contrast, the lower speed limits of 30 km/h might be too restrictive for efficient transportation in some areas, while the higher limits of 70 km/h or 90 km/h do not take into account the unique challenges that larger vehicles face, especially in regions with higher foot traffic.
