Motorways and motor vehicle roads are intended for driving at higher speeds, and therefore there are several rules that apply to prevent danger and problems with traffic handling:

On motorways, there are no crossings on the same level; other roads, railways and footpaths cross through tunnels or bridges.

Mopeds are not permitted on either motorways or motor vehicle roads.

Only vehicles that can drive at speeds of at least 40 km/h are permitted on motorways and motor vehicle roads. Tractors are permitted on motor vehicle roads as long as they can be driven at speeds of at least 40 km/h.

To be classified as a motorway, carriageways for opposite directions of travel must be separated by a median strip or central traffic barrier (dual carriageway). This is not a requirement for motor vehicle roads (though some motor vehicle roads will still have a median strip).
