| French 80 KPH speed limit partially relaxed |
|
Since July 2018 an 80kph speed limit has been in place on secondary roads in France that have no central barrier, and where road signs indicate no other speed limit applies.
The decision to introduce the speed limit has been hugely controversial, opposed by most departmental councils and one of the sparks that ignited the yellow vest protest movement.
Last month the government introduced a new law granting departmental councils the discretion to revert to the 90kph speed limit.
If this matters to you you must read the whole article here:-

take particular note of the map at the end, and be aware that it's not yet all cast in stone.

could've sworn all the limits were 145kph when I went last. At least that's what I told SWMBO.
