In clear weather, general speed limits in France are typically 50 km/h in agglomeration, 80 km/h on two-way roads without a central reservation (may be 90 km/h if locally authorized), 110 km/h on dual carriageways with a central reservation, and 130 km/h on autoroutes. These can be overridden by specific road signs.
During rain or other precipitation in France, speed limits are generally reduced: 110 km/h on autoroutes (down from 130), 100 km/h on dual carriageways (down from 110), and 80 km/h on other roads outside agglomeration (down from 90, or remaining 80). The limit within agglomeration remains 50 km/h.
Yes, probationary drivers in France, holding a permis probatoire, have specific lower speed limits. For example, in clear weather, their limits are typically 110 km/h on autoroutes and 100 km/h on dual carriageways. These limits are further reduced in adverse weather conditions like rain.
Road signs always take precedence over general speed rules. A circular sign with a red border and a number indicates a mandatory maximum speed limit. Pay attention to complementary panels (panneaux additionnels) which might specify conditions like 'Par temps de pluie' (in rainy weather) or 'Sauf riverains' (except residents).
