German autobahns have speed limits in cities. Between cities they don't. They are also almost always two lanes each direction in between cities and upwards of 4 lanes each in the larger cities.

They are fun to drive, but I swear Germans drive as crazy as anyone else; they do 200 kph in the rain and accidents on the autobahns are nasty affairs, nastier than US interstates, I'll wager.

Also, oftentimes the autobahn are being maintained. To do that they shut down one side and route traffic to one lane each on the other side, so speeds then drop dramatically.
