Lou, it's not. It's the A5 somewhere around Heidelberg. That, is the sign that signifies the end of speed restrictions... Kind of (there is an advisory speed limit).

Is this an Autobahn thing? If that sign is an end of speed restrictions..I would've expected cars zooming by each other at crazy speeds..:)

Yes, and often.. There is no chance to :( there is too much traffic.

Although, there is something about the irony of being stopped in an unrestricted zone.

Oh and Ashwin, earlier in the day I was doing about 180kph (112 mph) and got passed like I was standing still. But that was at 7am.

I'm here for work. This trip... Meh, not very fast... Kind of depends on the traffic, weather, and the car.

If you want to get anywhere fast, don't go on a holiday weekend. As much as I enjoyed long weekends when I worked during the summer, getting home on the Thursday nights was a test of my patience.
