Below are standard legal limits which, unless otherwise signposted, apply to motorcycles*, and private cars (including those towing caravan/trailer). A list of speed limits is usually displayed only at border crossings with no reminders within the country, so check to make sure that no changes have occurred. Remember, the penalty in most countries for exceeding speed limits can be expensive on-the-spot fines.
