Driving in Oberhausen

Traffic Rules

At first, driving on the right-hand side of the road might seem confusing, but you'll quickly get used to it. Always wear your seatbelt and stay within the speed limits, which are signposted. The default speed limit is 50 km/h (31 mph) in built-up areas and 100 km/h (62 mph) on roads outside of towns. On autobahns (motorways), the recommended limit is 130 km/h (81 mph) but there is no hard speed limit, unless it is signposted.

Parking

Most of the city offers parking, both paid and unpaid. However, it's often easier and more convenient to park in one of the numerous multi-storey car parks around the city.
