Not OP but when I was living there I noticed that major highways are generally physically separated from public spaces
I suspect due to better urban planning and less car-centric compromises on the placement of new motorways
Centre of towns and villages are more likely to be trams or trains than a highway. Very few settlements are anywhere near the autobahn.
Also the extreme emphasis on car maintenance was nice to see - polar opposite to where I’m from, Australia (similar I’d imagine to America). It seems that people here play a competition with who can illegally modify their car the most like cutting off catalytic converters and raising their SUV 4 inches for god knows why
