If you are traveling by car, an ultra-modern and efficient freeway
network awaits you. Over 700 restaurants, gas stations, motels and
kiosks are open day and night to travelers driving across the approximately
11,000 km freeway network of the Federal Republic.
The following types of fuel are available
in Germany:
Regular (91 octane)
Super Unleaded (95 octane)
Super Plus Unleaded
(98 octane)
Unleaded Diesel
Maximum Speeds:
For cars without trailers traveling outside city limits, a maximum
speed of 100 km/hr applies. Within city limits, the speed is 50 km/hr.
City limits are clearly marked by signs. On freeways, a speed of 130
km/hr is recommended. Cars with trailers (i.e. campers) may drive
at a maximum of 80 km/hr on roads and freeways.
Important rules:
According to the law, seat belts must be worn by all passengers in
the car. For children under 4 years of age, child seats are required,
and children under 12 years of age must use child seat cushions. Motorcyclists
must drive with a helmet. The blood alcohol limit is .05. Before beginning
their journey, it is a good idea for tourists to purchase information
about traveling by car in Germany from the automobile clubs.
