Car

2.5m

This is the maximum height limit for any load that can project over the front of the vehicle to ensure safety and compliance with traffic regulations.

From a length of more than 7m

This specifies the length threshold of a vehicle combination beyond which a substantial safety distance must be maintained from the vehicle in front, especially outside buildup areas, to allow safe overtaking.

30m

This represents the approximate reaction distance when a driver is traveling at a speed of 100 km/h, factoring in a reaction time of 1 second, according to the commonly used rule of thumb.

130m

This is the estimated stopping distance required when a vehicle is traveling at 100 km/h, assuming normal braking and a reaction time of 1 second, based on standard calculations for stopping.

24 months

This is the maximum time allowed before a 3-year-old car with a new certificate must undergo its next roadworthiness test, ensuring it meets safety standards.

80km/h

This is the highest speed legally permitted for combination vehicles (those with a motor vehicle up to 3.5 tons and trailers without 100 km/h approval) when traveling on the motorway.

It is 4 times as long

This indicates the significant increase in braking distance when the traveling speed is doubled; it shows how drastically speed affects stopping capability.

25m

This is the maximum stopping distance permissible on a very narrow road where visibility stretches to 50 meters ahead, ensuring safety in tight conditions.

3m

This specifies the mandatory minimum distance that must be kept between the vehicle and the solid lane boundary line when parked on the right side of the road.

1.5m

This is the minimum lateral space that should be maintained when overtaking an electric scooter within built-up areas to ensure the safety of all road users.

8m

This denotes the prohibited distance from a junction or intersection where parking is not allowed, particularly when a cycle path runs alongside the roadway.

30km/h

This is the maximum speed limit in areas clearly marked with a 30 km/h sign, which is intended to enhance safety in populated zones.

Up to 1.5m

This is the maximum length a labelled load may safely extend beyond the rear of a vehicle for journeys exceeding 100 km, ensuring compliance with transport regulations.

130km/h

This is the recommended cruising speed for vehicles, including cars and motorcycles, traveling on autobahns, aimed at promoting safe and efficient travel.

80km/h

This represents the legal maximum speed permitted for cars towing trailers on roads that are outside built-up areas, ensuring safety on these thoroughfares.
