Autobahn \ Headlight adapters

[bholleran]

Hi All,

Posted in another section but thought it might get more response here,

I will be taking the tuscan to Berlin tommorow, I know that there are certain autobahns with no speed limits or at least higher than the UK. How do you know which bits are unrestricted. i.e. what sign do they use for that.

If any one has information on the route (as per multi map from Calais to Berlin) that would be great.

Also I assume that the generic headlight adapters that you get from halfords will be required, although I dont think it is likley that it will have fitting instructons on the packet. Any thoughts.

Thanks

IIRC it's a white circle with a slatted black line diagonally across it, very similar to our NSL.

Sometimes the line is over the top of the value of the speed limit you're leaving, usually 130 if it's a 'bahn.

Hope that helps.

Pretty sure it's this for, only in Swtizerland/Austria does it mean the blanket limit, or when off the Autobahn

Fitting instructions are usually generic. So you should be able to sus it out from what your lights are (xenon/glass patterns).

However I find the adapters are usually shocking at staying stuck on if there's the slightest dust/damp on your lights. Particularly if you do any speed.

Thanks Very Much.

I have travelled this route before and there are plenty of unlimited stretches. Speed limits can change quickly though so be wary of this. Enjoy!
