We have that around here, even on the Autobahn. Have to crawl everywhere.

They claim it's for safety or the environment or noise-reduction or whatever, but it's actually a way to slow the destruction of the road surface because the infrastructure is completely crumbling, and they can't find enough workers.

The trains also creep along for miles, even the ICE. Rode a S-Bahn a few weeks ago, that accidentally took the wrong track. Had to drive two towns over, drive back, and then drive back again, to get back on the right one.

I've been riding trains since the 1980s and I have never. had. that. happen.

Along with the reasons you mentioned and revdnue raising through ludicrously expensive fines my conspiratorial senses tell me this is also a part of the agenda to push people in to cities. Lower all the speed limits in regional areas to make commuting that much more time consuming and difficult.

Wouldn't surprise me, but I live right outside a large city, and it's also like this. Also like that within the city.

And this is CSU country, so the rest of the country must be a complete basket-case.
