What is the maximum speed you are allowed to drive a car on roads with one marked lane for each direction outside built-up areas?

On roads outside built-up areas with only one lane marked for each direction, the maximum speed allowed for passenger cars in Germany is 100 km/h, unless lower limits are posted. This speed limit ensures safety because such roads typically have no separation between opposing traffic and may have more entrances, curves, or limited visibility. Exceeding this limit can increase accident risk. Always look for additional signs, as local speed limits may be lower in certain areas. If you answered 100 km/h, that is correct. Remember this rule for questions about standard rural roads with one lane per direction.
