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.
