It is also a well-known fact that officially there is no speed limit, although German authorities often set speed limits on certain segments of the motorways to maintain safety and decrease the pollution and recommend a speed of 130km/h. Speed limit in urban areas is normally 50 km/h, while on all other roads away from built-up areas is 100 km/h. Driving in Düsseldorf is convenient: all roads are clearly marked, people respect regulations and drive responsibly, but it is of course busy during peak periods.
