Out of town: 80 km/h Buiten de bebouwde kom
De regel · The rule
Outside the built-up area the limit is 80 km/h unless signs say otherwise. Only overtake where you can see it is clear.
RVV 1990 art. 20, 11, 19
Why this rule exists
Narrow polder roads, tractors and cyclists: speed and overtaking need far more room than they seem.
