German highways are a disaster

Have you ever tried driving 50km of motorway in Germany without encountering any construction sites? I think it's just a matter of luck. What's more, construction sites in Germany are always 10km long or longer because they are repaired or expanded according to the motto: “First tear it up and then we'll have the job.” We’ll start working next year, but with a maximum of 3 men per construction phase.”

In my opinion, the planners of such construction sites no longer have everything they need and should be held personally liable for construction site sections that exist for longer than six weeks. Finally, you can talk to the executing companies about contractual penalties. The damage to the gross national product caused by such disruptions and sloppiness is immense.

I also like the speed limit of 120 km/h between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. on motorways, followed by a sign indicating a maximum speed of 80 km/h, 500 meters further it is 100 km/h and shortly afterwards 60 km/h. There are great brain acrobats at work. It's logical that many drivers are just annoyed by so much confusion. Why don't we finally admit that we live in a banana republic, where construction sites are deliberately set up to the detriment of drivers and where forests of signs exist just because the sign companies have an obligatory right to make millions in profits? Who wants to change that?

It's also great that the police are no longer present. Driving is usually carried out according to the post motto “The bottom line is that I count!” This very anti-social, styleless and unsightly driving style is increased by a factor of five in Stuttgart. There seem to be a lot of rich lunatics there driving Audis and Mercedes, for whom the word safety distance seems to be a foreign word. Always on it in German lands. Thanks to the airbag and comprehensive insurance. What use are catalogs of fines if the police no longer check?
