Questions Learners Have About Conventional Road Speeds

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Conventional Road Speeds, including how questions match the official theory exam in Spain, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What is the general speed limit for cars on Spanish conventional roads?

For cars, motorcycles, and motorhomes (under 3,500 kg MMA), the generic speed limit on 'carreteras convencionales' (conventional roads) in Spain is 90 km/h, unless specific signage indicates otherwise or there's a physical separation allowing 100 km/h.

Has the 20 km/h overtaking margin been removed on conventional roads in Spain?

Yes, absolutely. Since the traffic law reforms, the 20 km/h margin for overtaking on conventional roads in Spain no longer exists. All speed limits are now absolute maximums, even during maneuvers like overtaking.

What speed limit applies to trucks and vans on Spanish conventional roads?

Trucks, vans, articulated vehicles, and automobiles with trailers (of any MMA) have a maximum speed limit of 80 km/h on Spanish conventional roads. This also applies to motorhomes over 3,500 kg MMA.

When can the speed limit on a conventional road be 100 km/h for cars?

The road owner can increase the speed limit to 100 km/h for cars, motorcycles, and motorhomes (under 3,500 kg MMA) on conventional roads if there is a physical separation between the two directions of traffic.

Why is understanding these speed limits important for the Spanish driving theory exam?

Speed limits, especially on 'carreteras convencionales', are a frequent topic in the DGT theory exam. Misunderstanding the generic limits or the recent changes, like the removal of the overtaking margin, can lead to incorrect answers and potential fines in real-world driving.
