What are the main speed limit differences for trucks in Italy?

Trucks over 3500 kg generally have lower speed limits than passenger cars, such as a maximum of 80 km/h on extraurban roads and 100 km/h on motorways (autostrade).

Yes, on motorways with three or more lanes per direction, goods vehicles with a full load mass exceeding 5000 kg, or vehicle combinations longer than 7 meters, must generally use only the two rightmost lanes.

Can trucks always overtake on Italian motorways?

No, there are specific overtaking prohibitions for trucks. On Italian motorways with two lanes per direction, when an overtaking ban is in force (as per Article 148, paragraph 14 of the Italian Highway Code), trucks must use only the rightmost lane.

What special considerations apply to vehicles carrying dangerous goods in Italy?

Vehicles transporting dangerous goods, particularly those in Class 1 when loaded, are subject to even stricter speed limits: 50 km/h outside urban areas and 30 km/h inside urban areas.

Understanding these rules is crucial for safety, compliance with Italian traffic law, and successfully passing the theory exam for commercial vehicle licenses, as questions often test these distinct regulations.
