Additionally, speed limits are posted at most on- and off-ramps and interchanges [39] and other danger points like sections under construction or in need of repair. Where no general limit exists, the advisory speed limit is 130 km/h (81 mph), referred to in German as the Richtgeschwindigkeit.
Speed limits are enforced with a small tolerance. In urban areas, driving merely 3 km/h (2 mph) or faster above the posted or implied speed limit is considered a punishable infraction in Germany. If the speed limit is 100 km/h (62 mph) or more, the tolerance is 3%. Other tolerances may apply for mobile speed cameras and undercover police cars.

Bundesautobahn 540 (translates from German as Federal Motorway 540, short form Autobahn 540, abbreviated as BAB 540 or A 540) was an autobahn in western Germany, connecting Jüchen and Grevenbroich, partly replacing the Bundesstraße 59. It was two lanes in each direction. There was no speed limit and very little traffic on this autobahn.
