What I Generally Think of the 130 Kilometer Per Hour Limit Idea on Autobahns?

 Five points:

1.  Most people (probably up toward 70 percent) already drive at 130 kph or less on the autobahn.   

2.  Most urbanized areas are already set to 100 kph (probably been that way for over 40 years).

3.  At any given time, probably 1-percent of all autobahns in Germany are under renovation and set to 60-to-80 kph.  

4.  If you went at this safety-wise, it might have statistical data to say night-time speeds ought to be limited to 130 kph.

5.  Putting speed limits on trucks probably being more effective for safety?  Some PhD group ought to review the data and make the recommendation that the better limit idea would be to set all trucks/buses to 80 kph.
