You are driving a lorry of gross vehicle weight rating over 3.5 t outside a built-up area. What is the maximum speed permitted beyond this prohibitory sign?
Explanation

Correct answer: 80 km/h.

The B-33 "speed limit" prohibition sign establishes the maximum speed for all vehicles at 90 km/h. However, a driver of a goods vehicle with a maximum authorised mass exceeding 3.5 t is also bound by general road traffic regulations. According to these, on a motorway or a dual-carriageway expressway, this vehicle may not exceed 80 km/h, therefore the lower, more restrictive speed limit must be adhered to.
