In general but not if you are on a priority road which has a yellow and white diamond sign.
Most junctions are marked with stop or give way signs, but you have to be carefull in small villages where some roads may not be signed.

In Germany, there are three identifiers for right of way.. If you are in an urban area, in a normal neighborhood, where there is a speed limit of 30kmh, please watch out for one of two road signs.
1. The diamond. This is a diamond shaped form with a yellow block in the middle.. This means YOU have the priority. Usually posted before every crossing.
2. The next is a "rocket". This is the a triangle (like yield) with a fat line in the middle and a smaller cross line. This is also posted before the intersection.
3. The next and hardest shield, .Rechts vorfahrt This is written and under the 30kmh sign. It means "cars coming from the right have right of way..
If you see NO signs, and you are in a neighborhood or living area, The situation is right has the right!!!!!! Right has the priority, and the Germans take it!!
This does not apply to entry on freeways, motorways, or controlled entry roads. Keeping in your lane is usually the safest way to go.
Last but not least, Remember, campers with break are allow to travel at 100kmh (60mph) in Germany only if you have a certified sticker allowing such (this is the 100kmh sticker on the back of the camper with a stamp from the authorities.. I am not sure if you can get them in England..) Other wise, on the freeways of Germany, you must travel no more than 80kmh (50mph).

You can only get them in Germany, if your trailer passes an MOT equivalent test and the towing vehicle has ABS.
You will find sticking to the 80 km/h a fairly harrowing experience as the truckers will not like it. I wouldn't normally advocate breaking the speed limit but in this scenario I'd recommend staying in line and keeping up with the trucks.
Tend to agree with the above and I have often driven at the speed of the trucks. Even if you had a Tempo 100 certificate its possible that it won't be a great deal of use as caravans, like trucks, are limited to the inside lane on a lot of autobahns.
