"Grimm stated, 'That wouldn't do any harm maybe even a smart signal, so that people take the situation seriously,' regarding the implementation of temporary speed limits."
"'Many countries in the global south have already taken limiting measures like enforcing work-from-home and restricting road usage,' Grimm noted, emphasizing the global impact of fuel consumption."
"'Even the most speed-hungry Germans might be wary of putting their foot down on the unrestricted sections of the autobahn highway network at present,' reflecting the current fuel price concerns."
Veronika Grimm has suggested implementing temporary speed limits in Germany to combat rising diesel and petrol prices. The International Energy Agency supports measures to reduce oil consumption, including lower speed limits. Many countries in the global south have already enacted restrictions to manage fuel usage. Germany's autobahn has permissive speed regulations, with 70% of the network being unrestricted. High fuel prices are causing even the most enthusiastic drivers to reconsider their speed on the highways.
