On speed-unrestricted stretches, an <A href="/wiki/Advisory_speed_limit" title="Advisory speed limit">advisory speed limit</A> (<I><SPAN lang="de" title="German language text"><A href="/wiki/Richtgeschwindigkeit" class="mw-redirect" title="Richtgeschwindigkeit">Richtgeschwindigkeit</A></SPAN></I>) of 130 kilometres per hour (81 mph) applies. While going faster is not illegal as such in the absence of a speed limit, it can cause an increased liability in the case of an accident; courts have ruled that an "ideal driver" who is exempt from absolute liability for "inevitable" tort under the law would not exceed <I>Richtgeschwindigkeit</I>.</P>
<P>A 2008 estimate reported that 52% of the autobahn network had only the advisory speed limit, 15% had temporary speed limits due to weather or traffic conditions, and 33% had permanent speed limits.<SUP id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-2">[2]</A></SUP> Measurements from the German State of <A href="/wiki/Brandenburg" title="Brandenburg">Brandenburg</A> in 2006 showed average speeds of 142 km/h (88 mph) on a 6-lane section of autobahn in free-flowing conditions.<SUP id="cite_ref-studie_tempolimit_3-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-studie_tempolimit-3">[3]</A></SUP></P>
<P>Germany's autobahn network has a total length of about 12,996 kilometres (8,075 mi) in 2016,<SUP id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-4">[4]</A></SUP> which ranks it among the most dense and longest controlled-access systems in the world.

<P>Only federally built controlled-access highways with certain construction standards including at least two lanes per direction are called <I>Bundesautobahn</I>. They have their own, white-on-blue signs and numbering system. In the 1930s, when construction began on the system, the official name was <I><A href="/wiki/Reichsautobahn" title="Reichsautobahn">Reichsautobahn</A></I>. Various other controlled-access highways exist on the federal <I>(<A href="/wiki/Bundesstra%C3%9Fe" title="Bundesstraße">Bundesstraße</A>),</I> state <I>(<A href="/wiki/Landesstra%C3%9Fe" title="Landesstraße">Landesstraße</A>),</I> district, and municipal level but are not part of the <I>Autobahn</I> network and are officially referred to as <I>Kraftfahrstraße</I> (with rare exceptions, like <A href="/wiki/Bundesautobahn_995" title="Bundesautobahn 995">A 995</A> Munich-Giesing–Brunntal). These highways are considered <I>autobahnähnlich</I> (autobahn-like) and are sometimes colloquially called <I>Gelbe Autobahn</I> (yellow autobahn) because most of them are <I>Bundesstraßen</I> (federal highways) with yellow signs. Some controlled-access highways are classified as "Bundesautobahn" in spite of not meeting the autobahn construction standard (for example the <A href="/wiki/Bundesautobahn_62" title="Bundesautobahn 62">A 62</A> near <A href="/wiki/Pirmasens" title="Pirmasens">Pirmasens</A>).</P>

Pattern of autobahns 10 to 999</DIV>
</DIV>
</DIV>
<P>Similar to high-speed motorways in other countries, autobahns have multiple lanes of traffic in each direction, separated by a central barrier with <A href="/wiki/Grade_separation" title="Grade separation">grade-separated</A> junctions and access restricted to motor vehicles with a top speed of more than 60 km/h (37 mph). Nearly all exits are to the right. The earliest motorways were flanked by <A href="/wiki/Shoulder_(road)" title="Shoulder (road)">shoulders</A> about 60 centimetres (24 in) in width, constructed of varying materials; right-hand shoulders on many autobahns were later retrofitted to 120 centimetres (47 in) in width when it was realized cars needed the additional space to pull off the autobahn safely. In the postwar years, a thicker <A href="/wiki/Asphaltic_concrete" class="mw-redirect" title="Asphaltic concrete">asphaltic concrete</A> cross-section with full paved hard shoulders came into general use. The top design speed was approximately 160 km/h (99 mph) in flat country but lower design speeds were used in hilly or mountainous terrain. A flat-country autobahn that was constructed to meet standards during the <A href="/wiki/Nazi_Germany" title="Nazi Germany">Nazi period</A>, could support the speed of up to 150 km/h (93 mph) on curves.</P>
<P>The current autobahn numbering system in use in Germany was introduced in 1974. All autobahns are named by using the capital letter A, which simply stands for "Autobahn" followed by a blank and a number (for example <A href="/wiki/Bundesautobahn_8" title="Bundesautobahn 8">A 8</A>). The main autobahns going all across Germany have a single digit number. Shorter autobahns that are of regional importance (e.g. connecting two major cities or regions within Germany) have a double digit number (e.g. <A href="/wiki/Bundesautobahn_24" title="Bundesautobahn 24">A 24</A>, connecting Berlin and Hamburg). The system is as follows:</P>

<P>There are also some very short autobahns built just for local traffic (e.g. <A href="/wiki/Ring_road" title="Ring road">ring roads</A> or the <A href="/wiki/Bundesautobahn_555" title="Bundesautobahn 555">A 555</A> from Cologne to Bonn) that usually have three digits for numbering. The first digit used is similar to the system above, depending on the region. East-west routes are always even-numbered, north-south routes are always odd-numbered.</P>
<P>The north-south autobahns are generally numbered using odd numbers from west to east; that is to say, the more easterly roads are given higher numbers. Similarly, the east-west routes are numbered using even numbers from north (lower numbers) to south (higher numbers).</P>

<P>Just days after the 1933 <A href="/wiki/Nazism" title="Nazism">Nazi</A> takeover, <A href="/wiki/Adolf_Hitler" title="Adolf Hitler">Adolf Hitler</A> enthusiastically embraced an ambitious autobahn construction project, appointing <A href="/wiki/Fritz_Todt" title="Fritz Todt">Fritz Todt</A>, the Inspector General of German Road Construction, to lead it. By 1936, 130,000 workers were directly employed in construction, as well as an additional 270,000 in the supply chain for construction equipment, steel, concrete, signage, maintenance equipment, etc. In rural areas, new camps to house the workers were built near construction sites.<SUP id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-12">[12]</A></SUP> The <A href="/wiki/Job_creation_program" class="mw-redirect" title="Job creation program">job creation program</A> aspect was not especially important because full employment was almost reached by 1936. The autobahns were not primarily intended as major infrastructure improvement of special value to the military as often stated. Their military value was limited as all major military transports in Germany were done by train to save fuel. The propaganda ministry turned the construction of the autobahns into a major media event that attracted international attention.<SUP id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-13">[13]</A></SUP></P>
<P>The autobahns formed the first limited-access, high-speed road network in the world, with the first section from Frankfurt am Main to <A href="/wiki/Darmstadt" title="Darmstadt">Darmstadt</A> opening in 1935. This straight section was used for high-speed record attempts by the <A href="/wiki/Grand_Prix_motor_racing" title="Grand Prix motor racing">Grand Prix</A> racing teams of <A href="/wiki/Mercedes-Benz" title="Mercedes-Benz">Mercedes-Benz</A> and <A href="/wiki/Auto_Union" title="Auto Union">Auto Union</A> until a fatal accident involving popular German race driver <A href="/wiki/Bernd_Rosemeyer" title="Bernd Rosemeyer">Bernd Rosemeyer</A> in early 1938. The world record of 432 kilometres per hour (268 mph) set by <A href="/wiki/Rudolf_Caracciola" title="Rudolf Caracciola">Rudolf Caracciola</A> on this stretch just prior to the accident remains one of the highest speeds ever achieved on a public motorway. A similar intent in the 1930s existed for a ten-kilometre stretch of what is today <A href="/wiki/Bundesautobahn_9" title="Bundesautobahn 9">Bundesautobahn 9</A> just south of <A href="/wiki/Dessau" title="Dessau">Dessau</A>—called the <A href="/wiki/Bundesautobahn_9#The_''Dessauer_Rennstrecke''" title="Bundesautobahn 9"><I>Dessauer Rennstrecke</I></A>—had bridges with no piers, meant for land speed record cars like the <A href="/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_T80" title="Mercedes-Benz T80">Mercedes-Benz T80</A> to have made a record attempt <A href="/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_T80#Projections_for_the_1940_land_speed_record_attempt" title="Mercedes-Benz T80">in January 1940</A>, abandoned due to the outbreak of <A href="/wiki/World_War_II_in_Europe" class="mw-redirect" title="World War II in Europe">World War II in Europe</A> four months earlier.</P>

<P>During World War II, the <A href="/wiki/Median_strip" title="Median strip">median strips</A> of some autobahns were paved over to allow their conversion into <A href="/wiki/Highway_strip" title="Highway strip">auxiliary airstrips</A>. Aircraft were either stashed in numerous tunnels or camouflaged in nearby woods. However, for the most part during the war, the autobahns were not militarily significant. Motor vehicles, such as trucks, could not carry goods or troops as quickly or in as much bulk and in the same numbers as trains could, and the autobahns could not be used by <A href="/wiki/Tank" title="Tank">tanks</A> as their weight and <A href="/wiki/Caterpillar_track" class="mw-redirect" title="Caterpillar track">caterpillar tracks</A> damaged the road surface. The general shortage of petrol in Germany during much of the war, as well as the low number of trucks and motor vehicles needed for direct support of military operations, further decreased the autobahn's significance. As a result, most military and economic freight was carried by rail. After the war, numerous sections of the autobahns were in bad shape, severely damaged by heavy <A href="/wiki/Allies_of_World_War_II" title="Allies of World War II">Allied</A> <A href="/wiki/Strategic_bombing_during_World_War_II" title="Strategic bombing during World War II">bombing</A> and military demolition. Furthermore, thousands of kilometres of autobahns remained unfinished, their construction brought to a halt by 1943 due to the increasing demands of the war effort.<SUP id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-14">[14]</A></SUP><SUP id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-15">[15]</A></SUP></P>

<P>In <A href="/wiki/West_Germany" title="West Germany">West Germany</A> (FRG), most existing autobahns were repaired soon after the war. During the 1950s, the West German government restarted the construction program. It invested in new sections and in improvements to older ones. Finishing the incomplete sections took longer, with some stretches opened to traffic by the 1980s. Some sections cut by the <A href="/wiki/Iron_Curtain" title="Iron Curtain">Iron Curtain</A> in 1945 were only completed after <A href="/wiki/German_reunification" title="German reunification">German reunification</A> in 1990. Others were never completed, as more advantageous routes were found. Some of these incomplete sections to this very day stretch across the landscape forming a unique type of <A href="/wiki/Industrial_archaeology" title="Industrial archaeology">modern ruin</A>, often easily visible on satellite photographs.</P>
<P>The autobahns of <A href="/wiki/East_Germany" title="East Germany">East Germany</A> (GDR) were neglected in comparison to those in West Germany after 1945. East German autobahns were used primarily for GDR military traffic and for state-owned farming or manufacturing vehicles. The speed limit on the GDR autobahns was 100 km/h; however, lower speed limits were frequently encountered due to poor or quickly changing road conditions. The speed limits on the GDR autobahns were rigorously enforced by the <A href="/wiki/Volkspolizei" title="Volkspolizei">Volkspolizei</A>, whose patrol cars were frequently found hiding under camouflage tarpaulins waiting for speeders.</P>

<P>Unmanaged rest areas are basically only parking spaces, sometimes with toilets. They form a part of the German highway system; the plots of land are federal property. Autobahn exits leading to such parking areas are marked 200 metres in advance with a blue sign with the white letter "P". They are found every few kilometres.</P>
<P>A managed rest area (German: <I>Autobahnraststätte</I> or <I>Raststätte</I> for short) usually also includes a <A href="/wiki/Filling_station" title="Filling station">filling station</A>, <A href="/wiki/Charging_station" title="Charging station">charging station</A>, lavatories, toilets and baby changes. Many rest areas also have restaurants, shops, public telephones, internet access and a playground. Some have hotels. Mandated every 50 km or so, rest areas are usually open all night.</P>
<P>Both kinds of rest areas are directly on the autobahn, with their own exits, and any service roads connecting them to the rest of the road network are usually closed to general traffic. The autobahn must not be left at rest areas.</P>

<P>Some limits were imposed to reduce pollution and noise. Limits can also be temporarily put into place through dynamic traffic guidance systems that display the according message. More than half of the total length of the German autobahn network has no speed limit, about one third has a permanent limit, and the remaining parts have a temporary or conditional limit.</P>
<P>Some cars with very powerful engines can reach speeds of well over 300 km/h (190 mph). Major German car manufacturers, except <A href="/wiki/Porsche" title="Porsche">Porsche</A>, follow a <I><A href="/wiki/Gentlemen%27s_agreement" title="Gentlemen's agreement">gentlemen's agreement</A></I> by <A href="/wiki/Governor_(device)#Automobiles" title="Governor (device)">electronically limiting</A> the top speeds of their cars—with the exception of some top of the range models or engines—to 250 km/h (155 mph).<SUP id="cite_ref-29" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-29">[29]</A></SUP> These limiters can be deactivated, so speeds up to 300 km/h (190 mph) might arise on the German autobahn, but due to other traffic, such speeds are generally not attainable except during certain times like between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. or on Sundays (when trucks drivers have to rest by law). Furthermore, there are certain autobahn sections which are known for having light traffic, making such speeds attainable during most days (especially some of those located in Eastern Germany). Most unlimited sections of the autobahn are located outside densely populated areas.</P>
<P>Vehicles with a top speed less than 60 km/h (37 mph) (such as <A href="/wiki/All-terrain_vehicle" title="All-terrain vehicle">quads</A>, low-end microcars, and agricultural/construction equipment) are not allowed to use the autobahn, nor are motorcycles and scooters with low engine capacity regardless of top speed (mainly applicable to <A href="/wiki/Moped" title="Moped">mopeds</A> which are typically limited to 25 or 45 km/h anyway). To comply with this limit, heavy-duty trucks in Germany (e.g. mobile cranes, tank transporters etc.) often have a maximum design speed of 62 km/h (39 mph) (usually denoted by a round <A href="/w/index.php?title=Black-on-white&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Black-on-white (page does not exist)">black-on-white</A> sign with "62" on it), along with flashing orange beacons to warn approaching cars that they are travelling slowly. There is no general minimum speed but drivers are not allowed to drive at an unnecessarily low speed as this would lead to significant traffic disturbance and an increased collision risk.</P>

<UL>
<LI>The right lane should be used when it is free (<I>Rechtsfahrgebot</I>) and the left lane is generally intended only for overtaking unless traffic is too dense to justify driving only on the right lane. It is legal to give a short horn or light signal (flashing headlights or <I>Lichthupe</I>) in order to indicate the intention of overtaking, but a safe distance to the vehicle in front must be maintained,<SUP id="cite_ref-93" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-93">[93]</A></SUP> otherwise this might be regarded as an act of <A href="/wiki/Coercion" title="Coercion">coercion</A>.</LI>
<LI>Penalties for <A href="/wiki/Tailgating" title="Tailgating">tailgating</A> were increased in May 2006 to a maximum of €375 and three months' license suspension:<SUP id="cite_ref-94" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-94">[94]</A></SUP> "drivers must keep a distance in metres that is equal to half their speed. For example, a driver going 100 km/h on the autobahn must keep a distance of at least 50 metres (165 feet)". The penalty increase followed uproar after an <A href="/wiki/Accident_on_the_Bundesautobahn_5" title="Accident on the Bundesautobahn 5">infamous fatal crash on Autobahn 5</A> in 2003.<SUP id="cite_ref-95" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-95">[95]</A></SUP></LI>
<LI>In a traffic jam, drivers must form an emergency lane (<I>Rettungsgasse</I>) to allow emergency services to reach the scene of an accident. This improvised alley is to be created on the dividing line between the two leftmost lanes.<SUP id="cite_ref-96" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-96">[96]</A></SUP></LI>
<LI>It is unlawful to stop for any reason on the autobahn, except for emergencies and when unavoidable, like traffic jams or being involved in an accident. This includes stopping on emergency lanes. Running out of fuel is considered an avoidable occurrence, as by law there are petrol stations directly on the autobahn approximately every 50–55 km (31–34 mi). Drivers may face fines and up to six months' suspension, should it come to a stop that was deemed unnecessary by the police. In some cases (if there is a direct danger to life and limb or property e.g. cars and highway infrastructure) it may also be considered a crime and the driver could receive a prison sentence (up to 5 years).</LI>
<LI>Overtaking on the right (undertaking) is strictly forbidden, except when stuck in traffic jams. Up to a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) it is permitted to pass cars on the right side if the speed difference is not greater than 20 km/h (12 mph) or the vehicle on the left lane is stationary. This is not referred to as overtaking, but driving past. Even if the car overtaken is illegally occupying the left-hand lane, it is not an acceptable excuse; in such cases, the police will routinely stop and fine both drivers. However, exceptions can and have sometimes been made.</LI>

Der Porsche – nach neueren Angaben ein mit einem 911er fast identischer 996 GT3 mit mehr als 350 PS – soll deutlich mehr als 200 Stundenkilometer schnell gewesen sein... Bis November 2007 galt am Starnberger Dreieck ein Tempolimit von 120 km/h. Das allerdings war nur ein vierjähriger Test – nachdem es schwere Unfälle gegeben hatte. Eine Verbesserung war damals nicht festgestellt worden. Über eine Wiedereinführung oder andere Maßnahmen müsste die Unfallkommission von Autobahndirektion und Polizei entscheiden. Ob der Unfall dort bei der nächsten jährlichen Sitzung Thema sein wird oder Anlass für eine so genannte Sonderverkehrsschau ist, war gestern noch unklar. Die Kommission befasst sich nur mit Unfallschwerpunkten. [Translation: Speculation about the speed of the Porsche is running wild – and with it comes to the question of whether a speed limit could have prevented the accident. The Porsche... was said to be traveling significantly faster than 200 kilometers per hour. Until November 2007 a speed limit of 120 km/h was in force at the <A href="/wiki/Starnberg" title="Starnberg">Starnberg</A> 3-way interchange. However, that was only a four-year test – initiated after some serious accidents. An improvement was not observed at that time. A reintroduction or other measures may be decided by the crash commission of the Highway Administration and the police. Whether the accident a subject at the next annual meeting of the commission or whether a so-called special meeting will be called was still unclear. The commission deals only with collision black spots.]</Q></CITE><SPAN title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=unknown&rft.jtitle=M%C3%BCnchner+Merkur&rft.atitle=A+95%3A+Unfall-Porsche+beschlagnahmt%3A+Starnberg+%E2%80%93+Nach+dem+t%C3%B6dlichen+Unfall+auf+der+Autobahn+A+95+am+Starnberger+Dreieck+stellt+sich+die+Frage+einer+Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung.+Bereits+im+Oktober+2012+gab+es+hier+einen+schweren+Unfall.+%5BTranslation%3A+A+95%3A+Crashed+Porsche+Seized%3A+Starnberg+%E2%80%93+After+the+fatal+accident+on+autobahn+A95+at+Starnberg+three-way+junction%2C+the+question+of+a+speed+limit+arises.+In+October+2012+there+was+a+prior+serious+accident+here.%5D&rft.date=2013-08-06&rft_id=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.merkur-online.de%2Flokales%2Fstarnberg%2Funfall-porsche-beschlagnahmt-3043333.html&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AAutobahn" class="Z3988"><SPAN style="display:none;"> </SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></LI>

Ein Grund für das wesentlich höhere Risiko auf Landstraßen und Autobahnen ist, dass hier wesentlich schneller gefahren wird als auf Innerortsstraßen und dadurch die Unfallschwere steigt.. (Seite 20) Hauptunfallursache auf Autobahnen ist die „nicht angepasste Geschwindigkeit“. Im Jahr 2012 waren mehr als ein Drittel aller Unfälle mit Personenschaden auf Autobahnen Unfälle, bei denen mindestens einem Beteiligten dieses Fehlverhalten zur Last gelegt wurde. Bei insgesamt 6 587 sogenannten Geschwindigkeitsunfällen kamen 179 Menschen zu Tode, das heißt nahezu die Hälfte (46,3 %) aller Getöteten auf Autobahnen... (Seite 20) Hierbei ist allerdings zu berücksichtigen, dass die Unfallursache „nicht angepasste Geschwindigkeit“ häufig nicht bedeutet, dass die zulässige Höchstgeschwindigkeit überschritten worden ist. „Nicht angepasste Geschwindigkeit“ wird von der Polizei bei einem Unfall auch dann als Ursache erfasst, wenn ein Beteiligter für die vorliegenden Straßen- oder Witterungsverhältnisse zu schnell gefahren ist.</Q></CITE><SPAN title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=unknown&rft.jtitle=Statistisches+Bundesamt+%28Federal+Statistics+Office%29&rft.atitle=Unfallentwicklung+auf+deutschen+Stra%C3%9Fen+2012+%28Crashes+on+German+Roads+2012%29&rft.date=2013-07-10&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.destatis.de%2FDE%2FPublikationen%2FThematisch%2FTransportVerkehr%2FVerkehrsunfaelle%2FPK_Unfallentwicklung_PDF.pdf%3F__blob%3DpublicationFile&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AAutobahn" class="Z3988"><SPAN style="display:none;"> </SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></LI>

Die Frau musste noch vor Ort reanimiert werden, starb jedoch später im Krankenhaus. Die beiden Männer im Porsche kamen mit leichten Verletzungen davon... Auf Höhe des Dreiecks Starnberg verlor er auf der linken Spur die Kontrolle über sein Auto. Er kam ins Schleudern, schoss rechts über einen Grünstreifen und kam auf dem Zubringer aus Starnberg wieder auf die Fahrbahn. Dort rammte er die 67-jährige Weilheimerin in ihrem Toyota... Zeugen vor Ort schätzen, dass der Sportwagen mit rund 300 Kilometer pro Stunde unterwegs war... Ein Zeuge hatte seinen Tempomat auf 140 Stundenkilometer eingestellt und war von dem Sportwagen überholt worden. „Er schätzt, der Porsche war doppelt so schnell“, sagt Buck. Und: „...Schneller wie 160 Kilometer pro Stunde ist hier absolut unangemessen.“.

Witnesses on site estimated that the sports car was traveling about 300 kilometers per hour... One witness had his cruise control set at 140 kilometers per hour and was overtaken by the sports car.

Drivers can also lose their license for up to three months. Before the new regulations went into effect, a monthlong suspension was the maximum penalty, he said. Fines will start at 35 euros for a speed of 80 kilometers an hour, Stadtrecher said, adding that drivers must keep a distance in meters that is equal to half their speed. For example, a driver going 100 km/h on the autobahn must keep a distance of at least 50 meters (165 feet). Fines and penalties will increase at higher speeds and will also take into account how long the driver tailgates.</Q></CITE><SPAN title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=unknown&rft.btitle=Fines+go+up+as+Germans+get+tough+on+tailgaters&rft.pub=Stars+and+Stripes&rft.date=2006-05-04&rft.au=Geoff+Ziezulewicz&rft_id=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.stripes.com%2Fnews%2Ffines-go-up-as-germans-get-tough-on-tailgaters-1.48552&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AAutobahn" class="Z3988"><SPAN style="display:none;"> </SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></LI>
