Bundesstraße
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The title of this article contains the character ß. Where it is unavailable, the name may be represented as Bundesstrasse.
Bundesstraßen are German and Austrian federal highways. One distinguishing characteristic between German Bundesstraßen and the world-famous Autobahnen (motorways) is that there is a general 100 km/h (62 mph) speed limit on federal highways, as opposed to the "recommended" limit of 130 km/h (83 mph) in unmarked sections of the motorways. Once the federal highway is a dual carriageway, the "recommended" speed limit is again 130 km/h (83 mph). Many sections of the federal highways have only two, undivided lanes with no hard shoulder (pull-out area).
German federal highways are labelled with rectangular yellow signs with black numerals, as opposed to the motorways' white-on-blue markers.
