German Autobahn: Are There Even Speed Limits?

German Highway

On August 6th, 1932, the first German highway (Autobahn), in Germany, is officially inaugurated.

For 5 Reichsmark, the curious from all over Europe can tryout the new highway route.

A 20km (12.4 mile) peace of highway between, Cologne and Bonn.

Today the "Autobahn" connects fast traffic and trucks, with almost any corner of Germany and beyond.

The scenery along many parts of the "Autobahn" are breath taking.

Speed limits?
Sure! But not always.

While speed lovers will find their fair share of adrenalin, It must be noted that safety always comes first.

In Germany people have to go through hours of driving lessons before they can get a drivers license.

Although the speed limits in Germany are much higher than in the U.S. there are less accidents in Germany per year.
