Can anyone drive on the Autobahn?


Can anyone drive on the Autobahn? Automobiles Only. Only cars, motorcycles, SUVs and trucks are allowed on the Autobahn. Those riding mopeds or bicycles cannot enter the thoroughfare. With speeds at over 100 mph in most places, slow-moving vehicles are safe on the highway, so don't jump on the Bahn in anything that can't safely handle fast speeds.


Can you go 200 mph on the autobahn?

More than half of the total length of the German autobahn network has no speed limit, about one third has a permanent limit, and the remaining parts have a temporary or conditional limit. Some cars with very powerful engines can reach speeds of well over 300 km/h (190 mph).


Do you have to pay to drive on the autobahn?

Although Germany began charging an autobahn toll for trucks in 2003; passenger car drivers can still drive the Autobahn without any extra charges (so far). But neighboring Austria and Switzerland (plus France and other European countries) charge a toll, for using their high-speed, limited access highways.
