National Road Traffic Law (Germany)

The National Road Traffic Law in Germany, known as the Straßenverkehrsgesetz (StVG), governs all aspects of road traffic. It sets rules for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists to ensure safety and order on the roads. Key provisions include speed limits, alcohol consumption limits, and liability regulations in case of accidents. The law also emphasizes the responsibilities of drivers to respect traffic signals and signs. Its primary goal is to reduce accidents and enhance traffic safety for everyone using the road. Compliance is enforced through penalties, including fines and points on a driver's license.
