Is Every Speed Limit Too Low?
Over here in Germany a speed limit typically means there&#x27;s a good reason to follow it. On the Autobahn we&#x27;ve got places where there is no speed limit at all (yep, there&#x27;s places where I can legally go 250 km&#x2F;h) and on other places the speed may be set as low as 80 km&#x2F;h (around 50mph).<p>A low speed limit typically is enforced with a traffic camera. Additionally we&#x27;ve go a lot of dynamic speed signs which show a speed limit which fits the current traffic conditions. (empty road at night - it&#x27;s turned off. Rush hour - 80 km&#x2F;h. Fog - 60 km&#x2F;h And several steps in between)<p>Not having a &quot;fixed&quot; all the time limit makes drives accept the speed limit more easily.<p>Oh yes, and 85&#x27;th percentile. I frequently drive &quot;+15km&#x2F;h&quot;, so I go 95 when there&#x27;s 80 allowed because the fine when I get caught that is not too expensive. (Fines for speeding are lower when you get caught outside city limits, speeding in a residential zone or in front of a school for example is one thing I have no tolerance for as well.)
