What is the recommended speed that applies to cars and motorcycles on autobahns?

The recommended speed for cars and motorcycles on the German autobahn is 130 km/h, known as the "Richtgeschwindigkeit." This is not a strict speed limit, but it is advised for safety reasons, especially where no mandatory speed limit is posted. Driving at this recommended speed reduces the risk of accidents and legal consequences in case of an accident, even if higher speeds are allowed. Always adjust your speed according to traffic, weather, and road conditions, regardless of the recommended speed.
