and Baden-Wuerttemberg, where I am.
Quote from: dentstudent on 02/07/2007 16:06:09and Baden-Wuerttemberg, where I am.I had not realised that there was a single Lander covering from the Schwartzwald (where I think you mentioned you lived) all the way to the Schwabische region. I had always regarded them as distinct areas.
As for speed limits, until 1973 we did not have speed limits on our motorways - they were introduced as a fuel saving measure,
I think they should increase the speed limit on some stretches of motorway ,but only for cars under a certain age and for drivers with 2 or more years experience.
It could also occur that cars over a certain capacity are not allowed outside of the inside lane unless overtaking. Or there could be a MINIMUM speed limit in the outside lane.
I was thinking about the situation with motorbikes - I think that there is a minimum of 50 or 125cc that you have to have in order to be allowed onto the motorway (unless this has change recently). I wonder how this is/was enforced.
Do you think that stretches of motorway in your country should be de-limited, perhaps according to time of day, traffic flow, proximity to junctions etc?
