What is a highway?

A motorway has at least two lanes in each direction and the lanes are always separated, so there is no direct oncoming traffic. There is also no crossing traffic on the same level, the crossing traffic drives over the motorway on a bridge or under the motorway with a tunnel or viaduct. A motorway is marked with a motorway sign at the entrance and exit, i.e. where it begins and ends. Entrances and exits are also counted as motorways, so the same rules apply there as on the motorway itself. When driving on the highway, primarily choose the rightmost lane. The lane or lanes further to the left are for overtaking. What you are not allowed to do on a motorway:

• You are not allowed to park, stop or reverse.
• You are not allowed to pick up a pedestrian.
• You are not allowed to walk.
• You are not allowed to tow (except if it is done on the hard shoulder to the first upcoming exit).
• You must never drive vehicles that are designed for a maximum speed of less than 40 km/h, e.g. tractors, bicycles or mopeds class 2 (even class 1 mopeds are forbidden even though they are allowed to reach a speed of 45 km/h).
