Germany has such an offense, and drivers there are very strict about lane discipline. It does improve traffic flow under certain conditions.
Germany also has sections of highway with no speed limit that rather suddenly run in to sections with a fairly low speed limit. The result can be a standing wave in traffic, often leading to complete stoppages on the autobahnen. The fact that many of their highways don't have enough lanes for the volume of traffic doesn't help either.
- Loic 15y agoGermany is not a good example, the highways are saturated, always under construction, speed limits are not respected and when you do not have speed limits, you have crazy people driving 190km/h+ thinking they can control their car and are driving safely. Really, cars and speed limits are very particular in Germany, if Germans are normally very rational in the way they manage their life, they keep all their irrationality for their behaviour with respect to their cars.
- Zak 15y agoGermany is a good example of a place with the offense rosser described. It is not a good example of how to design an efficient highway system. I think the main problem is the number of lanes. If there's a tiny crack in the pavement, they'll put up a sign saying strassen schaden (road damage) and rebuild the road for 1km in either direction, but it's rare to see an extra lane added. I don't really understand what they're thinking. I've driven in Germany quite a bit. I've never seen an accident on one of the unlimited speed sections; all the highway crashes I've seen were near towns, usually with a 100km/h speed limit.
