The German autobahns, famous for their no-speed-limit sections, will could get a 120 km/h speed limit, as a result of the opposing SPD political party that wants to impose the aforementioned limit on all highways.
The leader of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) Gabriel Sigmar, is proposing a 120 km/h (75 mph) speed limit on all autobahns, claiming that statistics are showing a lower amount of deaths and serious injuries on restricted highways.
In opposition, Germany’s automobile organization ADAC, thinks that Sigmar’s arguments are not valid, as the autobahns were designed to be safe and only 11% of Germany’s serious car crashes are occurring on these type of roads.
Currently, 40% of the autobahns is limited at 130 km/h (81 mph), speed which is recommended even in the unrestricted zones.
