State highways: Department of Transportation: German autobahn report.

Existing law vests the Department of Transportation with full possession and control of the state highway system. Existing law prohibits a person from driving a vehicle upon a highway with a speed limit established pursuant to specified provisions at a speed greater than that speed limit.
