Hastighetslagene

Hastighetslagene, also known as the Speed Limits Act, is a set of regulations in Norway that govern the maximum speeds at which vehicles can travel on public roads. The act is designed to ensure road safety and reduce the risk of accidents. The speed limits vary depending on the type of road and the surrounding environment. On highways, the maximum speed is typically 100 kilometers per hour, while on rural roads, it is 80 kilometers per hour. In urban areas, the speed limit is 50 kilometers per hour, and in built-up areas, it is 30 kilometers per hour. Additionally, there are specific speed limits for trucks and buses, which are generally lower than those for passenger cars. The enforcement of these speed limits is crucial for maintaining a safe and efficient transportation system in Norway.
