Essentially they remind you of the most used speed limits:

30, 50 and 130 km/h.

They are different so you can see them without thinking.

^ Yup! For those that didn’t know, the Autobahn technically has a 130km speed limit. Technically…

Not a classic "limit", it's the recommended speed.

Why would you need to go any faster, it only takes about an hour to drive through haha

At least the fuel is cheap!

The autobahn is always fun, doing 240 and there’s always a bigger dog coming up behind you
