re too fast in article qmcih dhs armory centerline com jimf centerline com jim frost writes boyle cactus org craig boyle writes the quality of autobahns is something of a myth the road surface isn t much different to a typical tx freeway they are better in terms of lighting safety signs roadmarkings etc they light the highways in texas funny everywhere else i ve been they only light em at junctions sorry by they i meant autobahns not us freeways i won t even get into how much road markings vary between states and localities except to say that there are some areas where markings are essentially nonexistant than most of the roads here a dip in the asphalt that you test your shocks on at will kill you at don t get me wrong i love to it would have to be quite severe i don t recall any us freeway without road damage warnings that i would regard as unsafe at in any decent well damped car i suspect you have very limited experience us freeways vary dramatically particularly between states i can name a number of interstate highways in various parts of the country where would be very optimistic in any car well i ve driven in every state but alaska and drive about k per year i take long cross country trips any chance i get its fun for me and i can get reimbursment my job allows me to drive rather than fly not to labor the point but i ve driven just about every freewayin the us germany uk and france plus some in mexico which was surpisingly good i m not sure what you call quite severe in terms of road deviations but i suspect every single bridge junction on i through ct would be considered so they re hard to take at mph that s not the only interstate i ve seen with such deviations but it s one i drive frequently yes but as a age of the total freeway in the us all you have to do in this case is mark the hazard advising people to slow to or so texas is pretty much an edge case you can t assume that everywhere has roads in such good condition such flat terrain and such texas freeways are varied sometimes a good surface mostly flat but i in ca is comparable and hilly wide open spaces it just ain t so given the absence of other traffic and car built for e g most us freeways are just fine the problem is other road users and cops jim frost jimf centerline com craig
