On main highways outside urban areas, the maximum speed for motorcycles is 100 km/h.

Within city or town limits, the general speed limit for motorcycles is 50 km/h unless signs indicate otherwise.

On secondary roads outside built-up areas, motorcycles must not exceed 80 km/h.

Mopeds on the main road must adhere to a 45 km/h speed limit.

Within city limits, mopeds using designated paths must not exceed 30 km/h.

Outside city areas, mopeds may ride at a maximum of 40 km/h on designated moped/bike paths.

These bicycles are capped at 25 km/h and are treated differently than mopeds under Dutch law.

A motorcycle with a trailer under 3,500 kg must not exceed 90 km/h.

Riders must slow down to safely stop within the distance they can clearly see ahead.

Special residential zones are limited to 30 km/h to protect pedestrians and cyclists.

Slow down well before the curve to maintain stability and avoid skidding.

Reduced speed in work zones ensures the safety of workers and riders.

Motorcyclists must yield to pedestrians waiting or crossing at marked crosswalks.

In pedestrian-heavy or mixed-use areas, mopeds must slow down to 25 km/h.

Reduced traction requires cautious acceleration, braking, and extra space.

Visibility is reduced at night use high beams when safe and slow down in dark areas.

Extra care is needed due to crossing children and stopped school transport.

Strict limits prevent collisions with slower or vulnerable road users.

Even if posted limits are higher, motorcyclists must reduce speed for safety in poor conditions.

Proceed cautiously and prepare to yield to traffic not yet visible.

Visibility is impaired maintaining full speed is dangerous and illegal.

The added weight alters balance and braking, so slower speeds are necessary.

Entering too fast can cause the motorcycle to drift or skid.

Moped riders must follow all posted local restrictions, including lower speed zones.

Temporary signs override default limits and are enforced like permanent ones.

Painted lines, wet leaves, and metal covers can cause slips and smooth handling is crucial.

Adequate following space is essential for safe stopping and reaction time.

Crosswinds can destabilize the motorcycle lower speeds help maintain control.

Riders must pass with extreme caution and be prepared to stop.

Riding on ice is highly dangerous due to traction loss if unavoidable, ride slowly and steadily.

Make sure there is clear visibility and room to re-enter the lane safely.

Riders must not enter unless they can completely clear the crossing.

Mopeds must prioritize pedestrian safety in shared spaces.

Entering a roundabout at high speed is dangerous and approach gradually and check for vehicles.
