115.7 km no speed limit
76.6 km fixed speed limit
2.2 km variable speed limit

Where the A60 runs
clear not clear no answer yet
Those kilometres come in 9 pieces, and this is the order you meet them
The longest is 32.0 km and the shortest 6.9 km.
A stretch runs from the sign that ends every restriction until a new limit follows. It counts as clear when nothing is reported on it: no roadworks, no closure, no traffic jam, no warning.

No speed limit still comes with rules
There is no speed limit on these stretches, but there is a recommended speed. The Autobahn-Richtgeschwindigkeits-Verordnung of 1978 sets it at 130 km/h for cars and vehicles up to 3.5 t, and it applies only in favourable road, traffic, visibility and weather conditions. Driving faster than that is not an offence in itself and carries no fine and no points.
After a crash it counts. If an accident caused by someone else would have been avoided at 130 km/h, a driver who was going faster can be held liable for at least 20% of the damage. The recommendation carries no penalty, but it does carry liability.
The duty to match your speed to the conditions never lifts. § 3 Abs. 1 StVO requires speed to be adapted to the road, the traffic, the visibility and the weather, and to be low enough to stop within the stretch of road you can see. Where fog, snow or rain cut visibility below 50 m, 50 km/h is the limit whatever the signs say.
Some stretches on this road carry a limit that applies only at certain hours or in the wet. Those are posted limits rather than a recommendation, and the boards above draw them as the signs that post them, wherever the map data records one.
