Thanks. Interesting. German Autobahns aren’t perfect either. In many places, there are construction sites and speed limits.

130 kph seems to be a very reasonable travel speed. Most European countries have a limit somewhere around that speed.

Re US: What I have never clearly understood though is how a country so fixated on personal freedom is limiting speeding that much.



From what I heard (even from americans themselves) it's likely because the idiot to good driver ratio is way too high and they'll just start killing themselves.
