The figures are the usual European ones, but three things make the page worth writing.
The speed cap is a ceiling, not a suggestion. Art. 7 Abs. 1 Bst. a Ziff. 2 sets 80 km/h for Anhängerzüge, and Abs. 2 adds that "die vorstehenden Höchstgeschwindigkeiten dürfen auch nicht überschritten werden, wo eine höhere Geschwindigkeitsgrenze signalisiert ist". A signposted higher limit therefore does not lift it.
It is Liechtenstein's own law, not Switzerland's. It is tempting to assume a reference: a customs union since 1923, a shared currency, and a VRV with the same name as the Swiss one. But the article numbers differ — Switzerland sets the same dimensions in art. 64, 65 and 66 VRV, Liechtenstein in art. 62, 63 and 64. The text is therefore incorporated as its own, not by reference, and it is the Liechtenstein wording that must be cited.
The measuring base switches in the middle of the instrument. The lengths in art. 63 apply ohne Ladung, the height in art. 64 mit der Ladung. A vehicle whose load projects rearwards therefore does not breach the length rule but may very well breach the height rule with the same load. The page says so expressly because the table in matt.md has no room for it.
Method note: the consolidation must be dated. Lilex ?version=N is a position number in the version list, not "latest". The first retrieval used version=41 and got a text stamped Fassung: 01.01.2016 — nine years old, without anything in the URL suggesting it. The landing page carries the right answer in its own markup: <option selected value="58">01.09.2025. All the figures above are read in version

The guard and the map
Liechtenstein is missing from Natural Earth 110m, which until 2026-08-09 was the source for the map's zone layer. Vaduz therefore ended up in Austria's polygon. The dimensions would have happened to be right anyway — Austria carries exactly the same five figures — but the speed became 70 instead of 80, and being right by accident is not being right. The country now has an area of its own. The map as a whole has since been measured against Natural Earth 10m and switched to 50m: see Where the guard sees nothing.
