Normal speed limits reinstated on motorways, highways
The government reinstated previous speed limits on motorways and national highways, setting 120 km/h for cars and light transport vehicles and 110 km/h for public and heavy transport vehicles. The earlier reduction aimed to promote austerity and fuel conservation amid a global fuel crisis linked to the US-Israel war on Iran.
