highway

The German word for highway is Autobahn. It is used to refer to the high-speed, controlled-access motorways in Germany. These are similar to the interstate highways in the United States or the motorways in the United Kingdom. Autobahns are known for their high speed limits and lack of general speed limit in some areas, although speed limits are enforced in certain sections due to safety concerns or environmental reasons.
