<P> In 2014, the conservative - liberal ruling coalition of Saxony confirmed its rejection of a general speed limit on autobahns, instead advocating dynamic traffic controls where appropriate . Between 2010 and 2014 in the State of Hesse, transportation ministers Dieter Posch and his successor Florian Rentsch, both members of the Free Democratic Party, removed or raised speed limits on several sections of autobahn following regular 5 - year reviews of speed limit effectiveness; some sections just prior to the installation of Tarek Al - Wazir (Green Party) as Transportation Minister in January 2014 as part of an uneasy CDU - green coalition government . In 2015, the left - green coalition government of Thuringia declared that a general autobahn limit was a Federal matter; Thuringia would not unlaterally impose a general Statewide limit, although the Thuringian environmental minister had recommended a 120 kilometres per hour (75 mph) limit . </P> <P> In late 2015, Winfried Hermann, Baden - Württemberg's Green minister of transportation, promised to impose a trial speed limit of 120 kilometres per hour (75 mph) on about 10% of the state's autobahns beginning in May 2016; . However the ruling green - social democratic coalition lost its majority in the March 2016 elections; while Mr Hermann retained his post in the new Green--Christian Democratic government, he put aside preparations for a speed limit due to opposition from his new coalition partners . </P> <P> In 2014, autobahns carried 31% of motorized road traffic while accounting for 11% of Germany's traffic deaths . The autobahn fatality rate of 1.6 deaths per billion - travel - kilometers compared favorably with the 4.6 rate on urban streets and 6.5 rate on rural roads . </P> <P> Between 1970 and 2010, overall German road fatalities decreased by almost 80% from 19,193 to 3,648; over the same time period, autobahn deaths halved from 945 to 430 deaths . Statistics for 2013 show total German traffic deaths had declined to the lowest count ever recorded: 3,340 (428 on autobahns); a representative of the Federal Statistical Office attributed the general decline to harsh winter weather that delayed the start of the motorcycle - riding season . In 2014, there was a total of 3,377 road fatalities, while autobahn deaths dropped to 375 . </P>
