[jasper]

Hey , everyone!

That's a great topic

In France , truck speed is about their cargo types and weight being hauled

Highway : 90 Km/h for single and double trailer
Secondary roads : 80 km/h for single and double trailer
Other roads: 60 Km/h for single and double trailer
In cities : 50 Km/ for single and double trailer except Paris's outer ring maximum speed is 70 km/h

Hazardous cargo such gasoline...

Highway: 80 Km/h with or without ABS
Secondary roads: 70 Km/h with ABS system and 60 km/h without ABS system
Other roads: 60 km/h
Cities and Paris's outer Ring : 50 km/h and 70 km/h

Ooh I love when things become complicated. I must ask two things though; what is ABS? And what do you mean by other road? I'm reffering to Motorway as an Autoroute, Expressway as a route nationale, secondary road as a departmental road, and other roads as in-numbered roads. Is that what you mean?

I did use that website but I'm not sure how accurate it is as it conflicted with some other sources I had found for each country.

...what is ABS?

Hi Nathan,

To further explain what Jasper wrote, the speed limitS for vehicles is determined by the "priority-road" concept ( =big traffic roads).

That means a "route prioritaire" can be a RN or a D/RD and a RN is not necessarily a "route prioritaire" (in this case it generally ends up being declassified as D or RD- in my hometown ex RN88 is now RD988 .

Edit : The road lettering determines who takes care of maintenance

Ah, it is what I thought it was. Thanks!

I didn't realise the French had such a confusing numbering system! So is what I have written on the French section correct now?

Ah sorry I don't know, I wasn't able to find the thread in the french section.

No, I meant the first post of this thread.
