If you drive a truck with a gross vehicle weight of over 3.5 t, what's the maximum speed at which you can drive on the road once you go past this sign?
Explanation

Correct answer: 80 km/h.

The visible sign D-8 'End of expressway' indicates that the traffic rules specific to this type of road no longer apply. In accordance with the Road Traffic Act, a lorry with a maximum authorised mass exceeding 3.5 t may travel at a maximum speed of 80 km/h on both an expressway and a standard dual carriageway outside a built-up area. Therefore, upon leaving the expressway for such a road, the maximum speed for this vehicle remains unchanged.
