Separate motorway table plus a high-speed supplement.

Short answer

Motorways and 100 km/h expressways have their own fine table in Denmark. Under the guideline fine rates of 27 February 2025, a car on a 130 km/h motorway pays 1,200 kr. at 131–155 km/h, 1,800 kr. at 156–168 km/h and 2,400 kr. at 169–181 km/h. From 140 km/h a high-speed supplement is added: 1,200 kr. at 140–149 km/h, rising by 600 kr. for each further 10 km/h. At 200 km/h or more the standard amounts do not apply, and you lose your licence.

Practical info

Why

  1. The motorway table is different from the town and country road table.
  2. Speeds from 140 km/h cost extra.
  3. At 160 km/h or more you get a conditional loss of licence.

Details

The general motorway limit for cars in Denmark is 130 km/h, but signs can set a lower limit.

Tip

Follow the signs: many motorway stretches have a limit below 130 km/h, and the fine is counted from the limit shown.

What may differ

Vans with trailers, buses and lorries have other limits and a stricter fine table.

Common misconception

A little over the limit on a motorway is not fined in Denmark.

What actually happens

Even 131 km/h on a 130 km/h motorway is on the fine table at 1,200 kr.
