these limitations are common in the US insofar as many places, particularly more rural areas, it's not safe for these types of vehicles to be going faster. These vehicles require a separate license to operate and have completely different concerns, such as riding their brakes on a downslope causing the brakes to get so hot they stop working and you get runaway semi's that cannot slow down and become dangerous.
That these types of vehicles have specific laws applied to them does not naturally stretch to applying them to 2-axle vehicles since these same dangers flat don't apply to them.
Semi's are required to have properly functioning mud flaps, this in no way implies a corolla should ever be required to have mud flaps installed.

- Symbiote 3y agoIn the EU it's generally not signed, as the limit applies to the vehicle regardless of the road. For example, 80 km/h for lorries on the motorway in Germany, otherwise 60 km/h.
