The motorway's states by the nearest municipality of each junction. Holidays per § 30 Abs. 4 StVO, reviewed 8 October 2026 · Informational, not legal advice.
- On the Autobahn there is no general speed limit where no sign says otherwise; the advisory speed is 130 km/h. Drive faster and you can share liability in a crash. (Autobahn-Richtgeschwindigkeits-V)
- Rescue lane: as soon as traffic slows on a motorway or rural road with at least two lanes per direction, keep a lane free between the leftmost lane and the one beside it — immediately, not once the blue lights arrive. (§ 11 Abs. 2 StVO)
- 112 reaches ambulance and fire service (Europe-wide), 110 the police — free from any network, credit or not. (Notrufverordnung (NotrufV))
