You are driving a vehicle combination. It consists of a motor vehicle with a permissible maximum mass of up to 3.5 tonnes and a trailer that is authorised for speeds of up to 100 km/h. What is the maximum speed limit on a federal highway (not an expressway)?

In Germany, specific speed limits are defined for different types of vehicles and combinations. When driving a vehicle combination with a motor vehicle reaching a maximum mass of up to 3.5 tonnes and a trailer rated for speeds of 100 km/h, the speed limit on federal highways (Landstraßen) is 80 km/h. This regulation is important because it helps ensure safety on roads that may not be designed for higher speeds and accounts for the stability and handling of such combinations.

Adhering to this speed limit is essential, as exceeding it could lead to penalties and increased risk of accidents due to handling dynamics of the vehicle combination. Always check for any specific signage or additional regulations that may apply to the route you are traveling.
