WHAT DOES AUTOBAHN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

autobahn

Autobahn

The Autobahn is the federal controlled-access highway system in Germany. The official German term is Bundesautobahn, which translates as "federal motorway". The system began to be highly developed by the Nazi Party under Adolf Hitler leadership. German autobahns have no federally mandated speed limit,—although limits are posted in areas that are urbanized, substandard, accident-prone, or under construction. In case of bad weather, speed limits come into play and are frequently enforced. On speed-unrestricted stretches, an advisory speed limit of 130 kilometres per hour applies. In 2008, an estimated 52% of the autobahn network had only the recommended speed limit; 15% had temporary speed limits due to weather or traffic conditions and 33% had permanent speed limits. The 16 Federal German States have the authority to set speed limits for any or all autobahnen they control; in 2008 Germany's smallest State, the paired City-State of Bremen & Bremerhaven, imposed a 120 kilometres per hour limit on its last 11 kilometres of speed-unlimited autobahn.
