Julia Verlinden, deputy leader of the Greens, argued that such a limit would reduce fuel consumption, save costs, and enhance road safety. Economists have also advocated for a speed limit in light of soaring fuel prices due to the Iran conflict. While the SPD shows some alignment with the Greens on this issue, they remain cautious, with SPD member Truels Reichardt emphasizing the need for further discussion rather than an indefinite implementation. The CDU, represented by Günter Baumgartner, continues to reject stricter speed regulations, citing concerns over excessive prohibitions.
