There are four implicit speed limits specified in Russian traffic regulations:
| Vehicle type | Residential zones, cycle zones and yards
|
Urban roads
|
Rural roads
|
Motorways
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cars and goods vehicles under 3.5 t, motorcycles | 20 km/h | 60 km/h | 90 km/h | 110 km/h |
| Buses with seatbelts | 20 km/h | 60 km/h | 90 km/h | 90 km/h |
| All other buses | 20 km/h | 60 km/h | 70 km/h | 70 km/h |
| Vehicles towing a trailer, goods vehicles over 3.5 t | 20 km/h | 60 km/h | 70 km/h | 90 km/h |
| Cargo vehicles transporting passengers in the back, buses transporting children | 20 km/h | 60 km/h | 60 km/h | 60 km/h |
| All vehicles when towing another vehicle | 20 km/h | 50 km/h | 50 km/h | 50 km/h |
The owner of the road may raise the speed limit on a road if the conditions and design allow for it. In this case the speed limit must not exceed 130 km/h on roads signed with sign 5.1 (motorways) and 110 km/h on roads signed with sign 5.3 (roads for automobiles). On other roads the speed limit for specific vehicle types may be raised if it is safe for them to travel at a higher speed, but the speed limit for these vehicles must not exceed their speed limit on motorways.[1]
