The maximum speed on the Jurmala highway (A10) from Riga to Jurmala is planned to be increased to 110 km/h.
On three sections – Daugavpils highway (A6) from Salaspils to Ikskile, Tinužsko-Koknese highway (P80) from Ogresgala to Koknese and Jelgava highway (A8) from Riga to Jaunolaine – speeds of up to 100 km/h will be allowed.
Last year, the speed on the section of the Jelgava highway did not change during the summer season, however, after assessing the statistics of road accidents, it was decided that the permitted speed on this section could be increased during the summer season.
At the same time, the speed limit on the Tallinn Motorway (A1) in the Saulkrasti bypass section will not be increased, as the number of accidents on this section last year increased by 58% compared to 2022. Accordingly, the maximum speed on this highway is no more than 90 km/h, and in some sections the speed will be lower.
LVC notes that on the section from Krogsila to the Riga Bypass Road there is a “High Speed Road” sign, which allows a maximum speed of 120 km/h and prohibits the movement of slow-moving vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists on this section.
