The country’s largest automobile association, ADAC, has announced that it will longer resist efforts to have a speed limit imposed across Germany’s Autobahn highway network.

Approximately 70 percent the Autobahn's 8,000 miles of roads currently has no permanent speed limit, although temporary restrictions are sometimes imposed due to road conditions.
