Autobahn/Автобан

Nothing special. Just a highway. Normal speed limit is 130 km/h (81 mph). The sign below (crossed 130) designates the start of a no-speed limit zone. Better follow the rules and stay on the right lane unless passing a car.

Ничего особенного, просто ровное шоссе. Ограничение скорости 130 км/ч, иногда вообще без ограничения скорости. На всякий случай лучше принять вправо если никого не обгоняем.


But sometimes there are road works (that may last years), that's where all the driving skills are tested. The right lane is usually wider to accommodate the trucks. The left lane is more narrow, but it is faster since all the trucks keep right. When passing cars on the left, it's scary to look right, just try to keep as left as possible.

А иногда попадаются ремонтные работы (в некоторых местах это затягивается на долгие годы), и в таких местах проверяются все водительские навыки. Правая полоса обычно шире чем левая, но по ней ездят грузовики. Левая полоса уже, но по ней можно проехать быстрее, но если справа едет грузовик, то иногда лучше не смотреть вправо и держаться как можно левее.
