What is the default speed limit for vehicles on highways in Germany unless stated otherwise?

The default speed limit for vehicles on highways in Germany is 100 kph (62 mph) unless otherwise indicated. This standard applies to most vehicles traveling on the Autobahn and reflects the regulations that aim to maintain safety while allowing for relatively high-speed travel. The 100 kph limit provides a balance, ensuring both efficient traffic flow and a reasonable threshold for safety. In specific cases where signage indicates a different limit, drivers are required to adhere to those posted speeds.
