What is the maximum speed you may drive on a main road in a truck with a gross vehicle weight rating of 5.5 t and a trail with a gross vehicle weight rating of 2 t?

On main roads in Germany, trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating of up to 7.5 t are generally subject to a maximum speed limit of 60 km/h. This speed limit applies to vehicles that are considered heavy, particularly when towing trailers. The limit is in place to enhance safety on main roads, where heavier vehicles may require more stopping distance and can impact traffic flow. This regulation is part of the broader German traffic laws aimed at ensuring increased safety for both drivers and other road users. Understanding these limits is crucial for compliance and safe driving practices.
