3.5 limits abroad

[Happy1]

Only if signposted normal limits over 3.5t are 100 & 110.


Thanks the figures I found are actually for a caravan!

C’est la raison pour laquelle le Comité interministériel de la sécurité routière du
6 juillet 2006 a décidé, avec l’accord des organisateurs de transports, de plafonner les vitesses maximales autorisées en circulation de tous ces véhicules à celle fixée par ces limiteurs.

Ainsi, sur autoroute, la vitesse maximale autorisée des véhicules de transport de marchandises d’un PTAC de plus de 3,5 tonnes et jusqu’à 12 tonnes est réduite à 90 km/h au lieu de 110, celle des véhicules de transport en commun d’un PTAC de plus de 3,5 tonnes et jusqu’à 10 tonnes à 100 km/h au lieu de 110 et celle des véhicules de transport en commun jusqu’à 3,5 tonnes à 100 km/h au lieu de 130.

1) TRUCKS: from 3,5t up to 12t 90kms/h
2)Buses from 3,5t up to 10t 100kms/h
3) Buses up to 3,5t 100kms/h

Now, motorhomes up to 3,5t .....rules are the same than for a car


As for the heaviest motorhomes

les camping-cars poids lourds (over 3,5t)sont limités à 110 km/h sur l'autoroute (motorway), 100 km/h sur voie rapide (4 lanes with a central WALL) , 80km/h sur route à deux voies et 50 km/h en agglomération (même lorsqu'un panneau autorise les autos à atteindre les 70 km/h).
Town center , even though it is written 70kms , it can only be 50kms/h

Bookmark this so you can find it any time you need it. If it changes , I will let you know!

Thanks yodeli

I did not know >3.5t was limited in towns/villages to 50kph even when sign at entry shows 70kph.

Although I doubt whether one would be chalenged in a motorhome which has been uprated to 3850kg and still looks like 3500kg - unless there were a random check for alcohol/stolen vehicles, but do they do speed checks at the same time?

Do French Police accept the UK V5C Registration as 'Proof of Ownership' even though it states it is not? I do carry my Bill of Sale in case.
