It's worth pointing out that Landstraßen often have trees next to them for cosmetic and "noise reduction" purposes (the latter has no significant effect, although many people believe in it). They are also not necessarily illuminated and can have crossings or sharp turns in addition to nearby wildlife and houses. In many cases the roads are also used by cyclists or agricultural vehicles which many drivers feel compelled to overtake, which can be dangerous because of limited vision and the need to switch onto a lane that may contain oncoming traffic. Compared to the Autobahn, Landstraßen are chaotic and often dangerous, not just for the people driving on it.
