Heavy vechicle speed limits have been raised form 80 to 90 k.m per hour .
In practice wont make a huge difference , as most barrelll along at 100 - 110 kph anyway . plus the offical "tolerance " has been dropped to 5 kph , os in practice it is a 5 kph speed increase .
Still it is one more area where road has been sped up in comparison to rail
