What is the speed limit for pickup trucks on highways?
2 Answers
The maximum speed limit for pickup trucks on highways is 100km/h. Here are some important considerations regarding pickup trucks on highways: 1. Avoid Overloading: The 2019 pickup truck policy clearly states that closed highway toll stations will implement non-stop weight detection at entrances. Since tolls are not calculated by weight, the purpose of weighing is obviously to prevent pickup trucks from exceeding weight limits. 2. Speed Limit for Pickup Trucks on Highways: Many people mistakenly believe the speed limit is 120km/h, but pickup trucks must adhere to the speed limit standard for trucks, which does not exceed 100km/h. Blue license plate pickup trucks also have a highway speed limit of 100km/h. If the speed exceeds 50% above the limit, the driver will immediately lose 12 points from their license.
The speed limit for pickup trucks on highways is generally around 100 km/h, depending on local traffic regulations and road signs. With nearly two decades of driving experience, frequently using pickups for long-distance hauling, I know they are classified as light trucks and can't reach 120 km/h like passenger cars. Some sections have a 110 km/h limit, but strict speed cameras are in place, making speeding tickets and penalty points likely. The key point is that pickups have a high center of gravity, variable load weights, and longer braking distances, making high speeds dangerous. In daily driving, I stick to the speed limit for safety, fuel efficiency, and avoiding unnecessary trouble. During rain or fog on highways, slowing down further is essential—safety first.
