50 km/h. The standard speed limit in German urban areas is 50 km/h (§3 StVO), unless otherwise posted. Many residential streets have 30 km/h zones, but the default is 50.

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: In Germany's new "Fahrradzone" (cycling zone), what is the maximum speed for all vehicles?

30 km/h. In the new cycling zones (Fahrradzonen), all vehicles are limited to 30 km/h. Only bicycles are allowed unless a supplementary sign permits other traffic. Cyclists have priority.

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.
