Speed limits in Norway
 |
Norway has two general speed limits:
- 50 km/h in densely populated areas.
- 80 km/h in sparsely populated areas.
The general speed limits for driving with trailers are:[1]
- 50 km/h within towns.
- 80 km/h outside towns.
- 80 km/h on motorways with a speed limit of 80 km/h or higher.
Some areas may have lower or higher speed limits. On some roads, the speed limit is 90 km/h, and on the best motorways the limit is 110 km/h. Also, the general speed limits apply only for vehicles below 3.5 metric tons. Lower speed limits apply for larger vehicles. Currently, the maximum speed limit for all vehicles over 3500kg and all vehicles carrying a trailer is 80km/h.
As of 21 May 2014, the Norwegian Government announced increasing the maximum speed limit to 110 km/h on some Norwegian highways. [2]
