Limites de Velocidad en Alemania 2025 - Autobahn y Todas las Vias

Q: You have just passed this sign. What speed limit applies from here on unless otherwise posted?

50 km/h. The standard speed limit in German built-up areas is 50 km/h (§3 StVO), unless otherwise posted. The yellow town sign (Zeichen 310) marks where the built-up area — and with it the 50 km/h limit — begins. Many residential streets have 30 km/h zones, but the default is 50.

Q: What is the recommended advisory speed (Richtgeschwindigkeit) on German Autobahns without a posted speed limit?

130 km/h. Germany's Autobahn advisory speed is 130 km/h. This is not a legal limit but a recommendation — exceeding it can affect liability in an accident.

Q: You are approaching this junction, where there are no priority signs or traffic lights. Who has the right of way?

The vehicle approaching from the right. The "rechts vor links" rule (§8 StVO) means that at unmarked intersections, vehicles coming from the right always have priority. This is one of the most fundamental traffic rules in Germany.

Q: What is the maximum speed for all vehicles in a cycle zone (Fahrradzone) marked by this sign?

30 km/h. Zeichen 244.3 marks the start of a cycle zone (Fahrradzone, introduced by the 2020 StVO amendment). All vehicles are limited to 30 km/h. Only bicycles and e-scooters (Elektrokleinstfahrzeuge) are allowed unless a supplementary sign permits other traffic, and cyclists must not be endangered or obstructed.

Q: What is the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for experienced drivers in Germany?

0.5‰ (0.05%). The legal BAC limit for experienced drivers in Germany is 0.5‰ (§24a StVG). However, impairment-related offenses can be charged at 0.3‰ if driving is visibly affected.
