Shown above is the map of Europe, where each country is marked by its maximum speed limit on its major motorways and highways, measured in kilometers per hour (km/h).
Have you ever wondered how fast you can legally go while cruising through Europe? Buckle up, as this map is your ultimate guide to the continent’s speed limits! Each country has its own need for speed—or lack thereof.
Most of the countries shown have a maximum speed limit of 130 km/h (in dark green). This also includes Germany, where its autobahns are legendary for their stretches with no speed limits at all, but with many areas still recommending a sensible 130 km/h speed limit.
The countries of Poland and Bulgaria follow a maximum speed limit of 140 km/h (in blue), the highest speed limit depicted on the map.
Owing to their small land areas, four countries on the map have maximum speed limits of 100 km/h or less: Malta (80 km/h), Andorra (90 km/h), Iceland (90 km/h), and Cyprus (100 km/h).
This map is a colorful reminder that Europe’s roads are as diverse as its cultures. So, next time you’re planning a road trip, let this map be your co-pilot—just remember to keep it legal and safe!
