Safe speed and driving distance

You must adjust your speed to traffic and weather conditions at all times.

Don’t exceed the speed limit

  • 130 km/h in dry weather with good visibility
  • 110 km/h in wet weather.
  • 50 km/h with visibility below 50 metres
  • Only overtake if your speed is over 80 km/h.




To avoid collision in the event of unexpected braking, never drive too close to the vehicle in front.

One line danger, two lines safety

The white lines separating the right-most lane from the hard shoulder provide an indication of safe driving distance.
