Geschwindigkeitslimit

Geschwindigkeitslimit, often translated as speed limit, refers to the maximum legal speed at which vehicles are permitted to travel on a particular stretch of road. These limits are established by traffic authorities to enhance road safety, manage traffic flow, and reduce noise and pollution. They are typically indicated by traffic signs and can vary based on factors such as the type of road (e.g., highway, urban area, school zone), road conditions, and time of day.

Exceeding the posted Geschwindigkeitslimit is a traffic violation and can result in penalties, including fines, demerit points on a driver's license, and in some cases, license suspension. Enforcement of speed limits is carried out by law enforcement agencies through various methods, including speed cameras and radar guns. The implementation and enforcement of Geschwindigkeitslimits are a common feature of traffic regulations worldwide, with specific values and rules differing by country and region. The primary goal is to create a safer driving environment for all road users.
