    German here. We do have speed limits on highways. The portions without are often not that long so you rarely get a chance to go truly wild.

    Regardless, the highest I usually go is like 180kmh and that doesn’t happen very often.

      Really depends on the Autobahn though, imho. A3 has nice long stretches, A9 going south from Berlin even more, and again south from Nuremberg towards Munich, A73 going north from Bamberg, A45 was nice before all the bridge works …

      All parts of which 200+ for 15min at a time is feasible. Probs not during rush hour traffic (where it actually happens), but feasible.

          But you miss the point: BAB doesn’t mean BundesAutoBahn, it means Baustelle Am Baustelle.

          The roadworks all over nowadays is due to years of neglect in the 80s and 90s.
