yes they are, I've seen several artics with stickers on the back saying

50mph on single carriageways....

40mph. Highway Code, section 123.

Ah, Thats for over 7.5 tonnes tho, and Im not licensed for them, so I
never learnt that ;-)


Mind you, none of them keep to it. I drive the A11 frequently in a 3 ton
camper, and I keep pace with the artics.;-)

If they slow to 40mph, it creates a tailback from Thetford to the start
of the dualled section..all ten miles of it :-)
