German Motorway

There is no other place as passionately preferred by auto enthusiasts as the German motorway. Each meter of these European avenues is carefully prepared and protected by the most skilled and loving hands of all the cultured continent. No man, woman, or child could ever attempt to call themselves true road kings without making the required pilgrimage to the black slabs of Deutschland. Motorway safety is significantly higher than that of other roads, and the speed limits correspondingly higher, although some types of vehicle, such as heavy goods vehicles, may be subject to lower limits. Germany has no general speed limit on its motorways (Autobahn); there are only particular speed limits at dangerous sections, sections with traffic jam hazards, road works or at some motorways through cities. There is an advisory speed limit of 130 km/h. The autobahnen formed the first limited-access, high-speed road network in the world, with the first section from Frankfurt am Main to Darmstadt opening in 1935.
