Wow! That's slower than almost every freeway speed limit in the United States, barring some urban spots.
- seszett 5y agoThat's also slower than every freeway speed limit in Europe for cars. Trucks just have a lower speed limit. They are also limited to 80 km/h where cars are limited to 90 km/h.
- masklinn 5y agoIIRC trucks also get special speed limits (usually to 80 or 70) on some difficult highway spots, they also often et additional semi-dedicated “slow vehicle” lanes on climbs.
- unethical_ban 5y agoInteresting. I think parts of the US had truck speed limits, but we no longer have them. Same with night-time speed limits.
- fomine3 5y agoTrucks (almost all cabover) are limited to 80km/h in Japan, even in highway limited to 120km/h for cars.
