The quality of the German road network makes driving a German hire car an excellent way to explore Germany. Although constant driving in your German hire car at high speed can be tiring, the Autobahn makes it possible to cover long distance across Germany in your German hire car in a short time, enabling you to move easily in your German hire car from one area of interest to another. A German hire car is the best way of getting around Germany if you aim to explore smaller towns, villages and the countryside of Germany. The best known feature of Germany’s extensive and well maintained road system that you can use in your German hire car is the Autobahn, the network of toll-free motorways covering the whole of Germany. However other roads like Bundesstrassen (national roads) and Landstrassen (main roads) are generally engineered to a high standard, with good surfaces and helpful signposting to help you navigate in your German hire car. While driving around Germany in your German hire car you will find that Autobahns are identified by a white letter ‘A’ and a number on a blue background and national roads by a black letter ‘B’ and number on a yellow background. The previously inadequate road network of eastern Germany has been transformed beyond recognition through the construction of motorways across eastern Germany, like the Ostseeautobahn, which links the Baltic coast to the rest of Germany, and through the improvement of other roads, which now make the roads of eastern Germany a pleasure to use in your German hire car. The downside to all this rebuilding across Germany is the density of traffic. In your German hire car, you may find that congestion can be acute in built-up areas and anywhere at holiday times. There are more than 100 named tourist routes that you can use in your German hire car which criss-cross Germany. Some, such as stretches of the Deutsche Alpenstrasse (German Alpine Road) that you can use in your German hire car, were purpose-built as scenic highways through Germany, although most are ordinary roads linking places of similar interest that you may wish to visit in your German hire car while. The best known of these routes that you can explore in your German hire car while is probably the Romantische Strasse (Romantic Road), which run from Wurzburg in northern Bavaria to Fussenn at the foot of the Alps and takes you through picturesque, historic towns in your German hire car on the way. Even if they are not designated as such, many of the roads you can use in your German hire car through Germany’s well-wooded uplands qualify as scenic routes, and extensions of the Autobahn networks that you can use in your German hire car also offer spectacular visual experience of the German countryside. Germans are fast drivers and determined popular resistance among motorists has prevented the adoption of a compulsory speed limit on Germany’s Autobahn. Although the speeds can be a little unnerving when driving in your German hire car, most drivers are aware of what they are doing and respect the rules of the road, having passed Germany’s particularly rigorous driving test. Once you have become used to conditions in your German hire car, you will find the behaviour of fellow road users fairly predictable. While exploring Germany in your German hire car it is useful to have knowledge of the rules of the roads. Germans drive on the right; on roads without yellow diamond priority signs, you should give way to traffic from the right in your German hire car; seat belts must be worn by all occupants of you German hire car; children under 12 must use an appropriate safety seat while travelling in your German hire car; you should halt at tram stops where there is no central reservation in your German hire car and allow passengers to cross the road; you should give way to trams and buses in your German hire car as they leave stops; ensure you use dipped headlights on your German hire car in poor visibility and in tunnels; do not use side lights when driving your German hire car; give way to pedestrians in your German hire car when turning at uncontrolled junctions (intersections); do not drink and drive you German hire car as the penalties are severe; traffic lights are supplemented by priority signs, which must be obeyed in your German hire car when the lights are not functioning e.g. at night or weekends; insulting behaviour to others while driving in your German hire car is an offence; fines can be imposed on the spot by police and your German hire car may be confiscated; finally a flashing light may indicating that you can turn right in your German hire car when traffic lights are red, but you must give way to traffic coming from the other direction.
