On Finnish highways, trucks cannot exceed 80 km/h even if the posted limit for cars is higher. This rule ensures vehicle stability and safety due to longer braking distances.

Industrial zones involve high movement of forklifts, workers, and cross-traffic. Speeds are restricted to 30–40 km/h to avoid accidents in confined or busy environments.

Near schools, truck drivers must slow to 30 km/h when children are likely to be present. These areas are marked with special signage indicating time restrictions and are strictly enforced.

Heavier loads create more inertia and longer stopping distances. Finnish traffic laws require drivers to adjust speed based on the truck’s load to maintain safe handling.

Weather conditions like ice and snow severely affect traction. Drivers must use discretion to slow down below the speed limit, ensuring full control of the truck at all times.

Fog reduces visibility, making it hard to react in time. Finnish road safety law requires a “safe and controllable speed,” especially for large vehicles with longer stopping distances.

Trailer combinations pose additional risk. The Finnish law restricts trucks with trailers to a maximum of 80 km/h to prevent jackknifing or trailer instability.

Posted signs always override general rules. Truck drivers must reduce speed immediately when a sign indicates a lower limit, especially in construction zones or curved roads.

On wet roads, braking and turning performance decreases. Finnish safety regulations emphasize reducing speed to avoid skidding or loss of control, especially in heavy trucks.

Trucks must slow to 30 km/h or as posted, as residential areas have narrow roads, parked cars, and frequent pedestrian movement. Lower speed ensures safety for residents and allows better maneuverability.

Speed must still be adjusted for surface grip even with studded tires. These tires improve traction but do not eliminate the risk of sliding in icy or snowy conditions. Drivers are legally required to reduce speed appropriately.

Speed must be reduced to allow yielding because Finnish traffic law requires drivers to give way at pedestrian crossings. Slowing down ensures safety and compliance, especially in city and school areas.

Truck drivers must lower speed and increase caution when lane markings are obscured. This helps prevent lane deviation and collisions, especially on multi-lane or merging roads.

Speed must be reduced to ensure a full stop if needed, since unguarded railway crossings can be dangerous. Trucks require more time to stop, so slowing in advance is critical for safety.

Trucks must reduce speed to avoid loss of stability, particularly if the vehicle is tall or lightly loaded. High winds can push trucks off track or cause tipping if speed isn’t reduced.

Trucks must remain in lane and match safe speed, especially on narrow roads or hills. Attempting to speed or change lanes when overtaking is banned increases crash risks.

The driver must drive at reduced speeds, especially on curves, as uneven or top-heavy loads make the vehicle more prone to rollovers. Adjusted speed ensures stability in bends and turns.

Trucks must stay within the posted limit or face fines because camera zones are automatically enforced. Truck drivers exceeding the limit can receive heavy penalties and points on their licence.

Trucks must reduce speed and use engine braking on steep slopes to avoid overheating brakes. Finnish law requires speed control on downgrades to prevent runaway vehicle situations.

Speed must follow posted temporary limits because construction areas have narrow lanes, obstacles, and workers present. These limits override default road speeds to enhance safety for both drivers and workers.

Speed must be reduced below the posted limit on sharp curves to prevent rollovers or skidding. Finnish road design often places warning signs well before curves, and truck drivers are expected to respond accordingly.

Trucks must adjust to a lower, safe speed during heavy rainfall, even if the posted speed is higher. Wet roads increase stopping distance and reduce tire grip, especially for heavier vehicles.

Speed may be limited by engine power and safety on steep inclines. Heavy loads require lower gear and slower climbing speed to maintain control and avoid mechanical stress.

Truck drivers must slow down and stay alert in wildlife crossing zones, especially in rural Finland. Lower speed reduces collision risk with animals like deer or moose, which can cause severe damage.

Trucks must adjust speed regardless of clear roads because black ice may form without visible snow. Even if roads appear dry, hidden ice patches can cause tire slippage and loss of control.

Speed should not exceed 40–50 km/h in small settlements where children, animals, and local vehicles may appear suddenly. Signs often indicate reduced limits at village entry points.

Truck drivers must reduce speed significantly while overtaking on rural roads to avoid swaying or side impact. Extra caution is needed on gravel or single-lane roads common in rural Finland.

Truck drivers must obey posted tunnel speed limits, typically 60–80 km/h, and adjust for visibility and traffic flow. Speeds are strictly enforced in tunnels to prevent chain-reaction collisions.

Speed must often be limited by special transport rules, typically not exceeding 80 km/h. Vehicles marked with ADR signs must comply with additional restrictions in populated or hazardous zones.
