Welcome to the Roadscapes Wednesday segment! Each week here on Geek Alabama, Roadscapes Wednesday will feature roads and infrastructure related topics. Geek Alabama Editor / Publisher Nathan Young is often called the “road geek” for a good reason, Nathan loves roads and loves talking about roads!
Germany’s Autobahn is the envy of the automotive world. There is nothing quite like it – a national highway system with no top speed limit. If you love cars and driving, chances are driving Germany’s Autobahn is one of the things you want to do before you die. And it can be exhilarating – top speeds have gone well above 200 miles per hour. So why doesn’t the U.S. have something like that? And why do some people say it is not all it’s cracked up to be?
