The problem with the Autobahn are the 120 km/h speed limits that are there on a sizeable portion of it for no reason. They should remove all the speed limits,

  Most of those limits are for noise levels and surface conditions.

    For noise, they should either build a barrier or buy out the properties nearby, certainly not limit the speed. And for surface conditions, repave the road.

      Let me guess... Do you drive a BMW or AUDI?

        I drive a BMW. What’s your point?

    Or for stretches that had high accident rates in the past [0] > According to official statistics from 2018, unlimited highways in Germany claimed about 71% of fatalities on highways.[86] However, autobahns without speed limits also account for 70% of the entire autobahn network, which puts the high proportion of collision fatalities on stretches without speed limits into perspective.[86] However, the often resulting thinking that speed limits would not make roads significantly safer is a fallacy, since it is precisely those roads that have a high volume of traffic and thus a high risk of collisions that are given speed limits.
