Speed limit
Speed limits on motorways have been raised gradually since their introduction in the 1960s. At first, motorways had no special speed limit, hence the general speed limit of 80 km/h applied. 90 km/h was introduced in 1965. The speed limit was raised again in 2000 to 100 km/h and in 2014 to 110 km/h. As of 2019, the government is considering raising the upper speed limit to 120 km/h. Nye Veier AS, the state-owned company responsible for construction and operation of certain new motorways, want a speed limit as high as feasible, possibly 130 km/h.
