Not sure what new speeds you are talking about. As of the end of July they were still the same as before, namely 90 km/hr on A roads and 130 km/hr on autoroutes. Caravans followed these limits as long as total weights was less than 3500 kg, or you were limited to 100 km/hr on autoroutes.

However, as with any country the Police are entitled to stop you if they feel your driving is dangerous. Personally I remained at 60-65 mph maximum on autoroutes, 50 mph on A roads and never had any problem.

There has always been a lower limit for vehicles in excess of 3500 kg. This applies to solo vehicles such as motorhomes and total train weight if towing. As I said in July the signs were still showing the same as before, but maybe they have not changed anything yet.
