According to the survey, the majority of Germans are in favor of general speed limits on motorways.
Berlin – According to a survey, a majority of citizens in Germany are in favor of a general speed limit of 130 kilometers per hour on motorways as a contribution to environmental and climate protection. In the current “DeutschlandTrend” in the ARD morning magazine, 60 percent of those questioned described this as the correct measure – in June 2021 it was 57 percent.
The SPD, Greens and FDP had written in their exploratory paper: “There will be no general speed limit.” The FDP is against a speed limit. As the “DeutschlandTrend” also showed, higher prices are controversial as a climate and environmental protection measure. Only 19 percent of those surveyed consider a sharp increase in the price of petrol to be sensible. Only 14 percent believe that higher energy prices, for example for electricity or gas, are correct.
