Fixed speed limits are permanent signs, while temporary limits are usually posted due to specific conditions (e.g., construction). Variable limits are dynamic displays on overhead gantries that can change based on real-time traffic or weather. Variable and temporary limits generally override fixed limits.
Supplementary plates provide conditions under which a speed limit applies, such as 'bei Nässe' (in wet conditions), 'werktags' (on weekdays), or 'von 6-20 Uhr' (from 6 AM to 8 PM). The speed limit is only valid when these specific conditions are met.
If a variable message sign on an Autobahn gantry is blank (not displaying a speed limit), it means that no specific additional restriction is currently active for that section. The general advisory speed limit or any previous permanent speed limit for the Autobahn applies, which is typically 130 km/h (advisory for passenger cars).
The 'End of Speed Limit' sign (Zeichen 278, white with diagonal lines through a number) cancels only the previously indicated maximum speed. The 'End of All Restrictions' sign (Zeichen 282, white with five diagonal lines) cancels all previously imposed restrictions like speed limits, overtaking bans, or minimum speeds, reverting to the general rules for that road type.
When you leave a built-up area (indicated by the town sign) in Germany, the general out-of-town speed limit (außerorts) automatically applies. For passenger cars, this is typically 100 km/h, unless otherwise posted by new signs.
By completing Speed Limits: Temporary & Variable, you will gain stronger rule knowledge, faster recognition of signs and situations, better decision making in traffic scenarios, and increased accuracy on exam style questions used in Germany. These outcomes directly support higher scoring exam performance.
