Safe Speed Forums

Possibly wrong place ,but if so ,please move .
i know we've got a few posters from down under ,so I hope they might know. Watched a set of programs on outback trucking .With the distances involved ,are road trains subject to the same daft limits that EU thinks necessary ( 56 MPH = APPROX 90K)

The information is in there somewhere....
Things like speed limits (which tend to be nearly the same as the EU) and mass limits, even to "road trains".

Seems a lot like here, with some pretty severe restrictions on urban travel..
Not to mention laws changing as you move from territory to territory...
