Traffic sign indicating end of all restrictions (including speed limits) German autobahns are famous for having no universal motorway speed limit for some classes of vehicles, although about 30% of them do have some kind of temporary or permanent limit. Roughly 21% of German motorways have static limits (temporary or permanent) indicated by ...
Additionally, speed limits are posted at most on- and off-ramps and interchanges [39] and other danger points like sections under construction or in need of repair. Where no general limit exists, the advisory speed limit is 130 km/h (81 mph), referred to in German as the Richtgeschwindigkeit.
There is no speed limit over large parts of the A 95. Only in the Munich metropolitan area is a speed limit set at 80 km/h (ca 50 mph). In the area of the Starnberg 3-way interchange a 120 km/h (ca 75 mph) limit was imposed until November 2007, ending a four-year trial period.
The German autobahns have no general speed limit for some classes of vehicles (though nearly 30% of the total autobahn network is subject to local and/or conditional limits [124]), but the advisory speed limit (Richtgeschwindigkeit) is 130 km/h (81 mph). The lower class expressways usually have speed limits of 120 km/h (75 mph) or lower.
A heated debate over introducing an autobahn speed limit has gripped Germany ever since it emerged last week that a committee tasked with coming up with ideas to lower transport emissions was ...
A 4 heading towards Aachen at inter-section with A 559 on the Cologne Beltway. Bundesautobahn 4 (translates from German as Federal Motorway 4, short form Autobahn 4, abbreviated as BAB 4 or A 4) is an autobahn in two discontinuous segments that crosses Germany in a west–east direction.
One distinguishing characteristic between German Bundesstraßen and Autobahnen is that there usually is a general 100 km/h (62 mph) speed limit on federal highways out of built-up areas, as opposed to the merely advisory speed limit (Richtgeschwindigkeit) of 130 km/h (83 mph) in unmarked sections of the autobahns.
It is three lanes each way. The speed limit on the Cologne Beltway is mostly 100 km/h. Northbound between junctions 103 and 102 as well as between 101 and 100 the speed limit has recently been raised to 120 km/h. South of the Cologne Beltway the A1 has two lanes each way between junctions 104 and 107. There is a speed limit of 120 km/h ...
