In Germany, a debate about speed limits on their own motorways has sparked again. The resentment of the German Federal Ministry of Transport. Now the authority wanted to finally bury the discussion – and made an embarrassing mishap.

Advertising photo shows A3 at Thalwil ZH
The ministry illustrated the reasoning with a photo of a freeway in the evening light. Just stupid that the picture was taken in Switzerland.
–
The photo shows a section of the A3 along Lake Zurich. A blue sign on the roadside announces the community Thalwil ZH, at 1000 meters. As on all motorways in Germany, the speed limit is 120 km / h. The photo is therefore less suitable as an advertising image for the “free journey”.

“Runs at 120 km / h in Switzerland”
The Twitter users also noticed this. «Thank you for showing how sensible a speed limit is with the photo. This photo shows that you can travel safely at night with speed limit 120 in Switzerland, »comments one.
–
Another praises the Swiss rail traffic in addition to the streets: “Running in Switzerland (picture). Tempo 120. By the way, rail traffic too. »

The Ministry of Transport replied subtly later: «As mentioned in the tweet text, we are concerned with the flow of traffic in Germany. It was a mistake that we didn’t pay attention to the name of the exit. »

–
The German newspaper draws on the Twitter mishap of the ministry «world»:« At least in the posted photo you can not see that the traffic flow on the Swiss Autobahn 3 would be affected by the speed limit. »(Hah)
