Speed limits on motorway sections vary from country to country, even within the European Union. Indeed, a motorist heading for Spain this summer will not be able to drive at the same speed as a driver taking the German motorways.
The summer season is marked by many departures on vacation. Whether you are from July or August, many of you opt for the car as a means of transport for your stay with family or friends. And if the average speed of holidaymakers on the road this weekend was well below the limits in force due to heavy motorway traffic, this also varies depending on the destination chosen for the holiday.
In fact, speed limits on motorway sections vary from one country to another, even within the European Union. Thus, a motorist heading for Spain this summer will not be able to drive at the same speed as a driver using the motorways of our German neighbors subject to a different speed limit policy. Be careful therefore to remain vigilant on the speed displayed by your speedometer or your GPS, at the risk of receiving a fine for speeding.

In France, you can therefore drive at a maximum speed of 130 km/h on the majority of motorway sections when authorized. On the other hand, there are many sections of motorway where the speed is however limited to 110 km/h or 90 km/h, such as on the outskirts of a built-up area in particular.
In an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the government and CAC 40 companies have called on civil servants and employees not to exceed 110 km/h this summer on the motorways.
