It is possible to pay with a credit card but this comes with a rather hefty fee: I accept been told that a fee of 20 Euro is the standard (needs to be confirmed).

Wikipedia has an interesting entry on German speed limits and their history.
Did you know that the Nazi-era Road Traffic Deed of 28 May 1934 imposed the first nation-wide speed limit: 60 km/h maximum in urban areas, but no limit on rural highways or autobahns? They then lowered them in 1939 to save fuel (40 km/h urban, 80 km/h rural). And then, in Dec 1952 the W German legislature voted to abolish all speed limits, seeing them every bit Nazi relics (E Deutschland did not follow). Afterwards, of form, speed limits got more than restricted due to loftier fatalities. In 1972 a general rural speed limit of 100 km/h went into effect — except on motorways.

By bad weather weather condition, eg. when the visual sight is below 50 meters, the general speed-limit is lowered to 50 km/h.
