Motorway

The speed limit on a motorway is 130 kilometers per hour. Of course, the government is authorised to set a lower speed limit on some motorways or sections of motorways.

Between 6 AM and 7 PM, the speed limit on any motorway is 100 kilometers per hour.

Use of a motorway is only allowed for motor vehicles that can and are allowed to drive at least 60 kilometers per hour.

The CBR may also ask what the minimum speed is on a motorway. You should then answer that there is no minimum speed on a motorway. When a bridge is open or there is a stationary traffic jam on a motorway, everyone is standing still and logically, no minimum speed applies.

Drivers of motor vehicles on more than two wheels, who are stationary on parking lanes, parking bays, emergency lanes and lay-bys located along motorways must display sidelights and rear lights during the day, if visibility is seriously impaired, and at night.

Drivers are prohibited from turning or reversing their vehicles on a motorway.

It is prohibited to stop a vehicle on the carriageway of a motorway.

Except in emergencies, road users are prohibited from using the hard shoulder, refuge or shoulder on a motorway.

On a motorway, drivers of a combination of vehicles with a total length of more than 7 meters and lorries are prohibited from using any lane other than the two most right-hand lanes on a carriageway with three or more lanes. The prohibition does not apply in the event that they are required to move into a forward lane.

Article 1 of the RVV.
