Car Rental Friedrichshafen – Must Know

Don't let the high speeds on German roads fool you into believing that there are no reduced speed zones. If you see a blinking yellow light at an intersection it means stop, then proceed if the intersection is clear. Run a red light and you'll probably be caught: many intersections have radar-controlled cameras hooked up to traffic lights. The basic speed limit is 50kph in built-up areas and 100kph elsewhere. If you are hauling a trailer the speed limit is 80kph on roads and autobahns.
