    It’s called being responsible. Also the roads are built for it. Lanes are about 1/3 wider than they are in the US because they’re not going for “just one more lane bro”. They’re immaculately maintained. Curves are smooth and sloped. On and off ramps are once every two miles or so, so you don’t have traffic constantly merging or exiting and the “no restrictions” parts are only once you get out of the city.

      Immaculately maintained is just not true. There is chronic shortage of money for maintenance, with a 5 billion shortage until 2029.

        At least all the stretches I drove with no restrictions were that way, granted can’t say the same for sections in cities or with limits.
