Overview

• Speed limits of 120 km/h for cars and 80 km/h for motorcycles are now active on sections of the A3, A92, and A93 in southern Bavaria.
• The measures address risks from aging concrete slabs built in the 1980s, which are prone to heat-induced blow-ups and uneven surfaces.
• Motorcyclists face heightened danger from sudden pavement damage, prompting stricter limits through September.
• Since 2013, interim repairs and asphalt strips have been used to reduce stress on unreconstructed concrete sections.
• Authorities are monitoring road conditions and warn that further speed reductions may be implemented if deterioration continues.
