    That recommended speed limit explains why the German visitors are such aggressive drivers in Spain.

    Would love for the 130 to be an actual speed limit. But apperently we don’t have enough road signs for that.

    Everybody in turkey seems to think german “autobahn”s have no speed limit

    Either Baden Württemberg is not in Germany, or this sign is partial at best

    There is no general speed limit, but a lot of speed limits due to construction sites.

    Tatsächlich fehlt das eine oder andere Schild. Zum Beispiel Spielstraße, 4 bis 7 km/h.

    Seems simple but of course there are many exceptions. So always pay attention to traffic signs.

    For example on the Autobahn you can go from “unlimited” to 100 km/h and back again within just a few hundred metres. Like near exits and entrances, petrol stations etc.

    On secondary roads where the limit is usually 100 km/h it’s often further limited to 70 km/h when approaching intersections. Also on many hilly or winding roads.

    Many Germans do drive like maniacs on the Autobahn. But in my experience they are often more civilised on the 100 km roads. It’s not necessarily seen as a minimum speed there. Depends on the terrain, the weather and such.

    German highway has electronic speed limit signs so it’s always a fun game guessing what it is if you think you missed one.

    Germans: We have the Autobahn’s where there’s no speed limit!

    Greece: The whole road network has no speed limit.

    Fun Fact: The probability that someone in Germany knows a person who has died in a traffic accident can be roughly estimated as follows:

    * **Annual traffic deaths**: Around 2,800 per year.
    * **Life expectancy**: 80 years.
    * **Total traffic deaths over a lifetime**: 2,800 deaths/year × 80 years = 224,000 deaths.
    * **Percentage of the population**: 224,000 deaths out of 83 million people ≈ 0.27% of the population.
    * **Social contacts**: People typically know about 150 others.

    Multiplying the average number of contacts (150) by the 0.27% chance results in a **40% probability** that someone will know a traffic accident victim in their lifetime.

    There are also some non-Autobahn roads who also have no speed limit.

    The good old “yellow Autobahn” that confuses anyone who doesnt know about it not having a speed limit wondering why people with local numberplates are risking their drivers license by driving so much faster than the usual 100km/h

    German Autobahn having 130 “advised” travel speed

    *terms and conditions apply

    Also if you see the lane to your right having some free space, move over. Es gilt das Rechtsfahrgebot, you better behave.

    I didn’t knew regular roads were up to 100. That must be highest for one lane roads anywhere in Europe.
