6.) Italy: A1
Where Is It: Between Milan and Rome.
Speed Limit: 93 MPH.
Fastest Stretch: Between Milan and Rome.
The thing about the Autostrada is that while the 93 mph limit has never been applied, everybody goes fast anyway. I drove through Italy above the limit without getting a single ticket, and that's the way it should be.

Guess what, it's a public tollroad!

2.) Germany
Where Is It: Where you see the Autobahn sign.
Speed Limit: Unrestricted if you're lucky.
Fastest Stretch: Wherever they aren't doing roadwork.
I tried it, and I have no idea why the rest of Europe can't have the same system. The highways could take it, and people could actually get to places on time.

1.) Bonneville Salt Flats
Where Is It: In Utah.
Speed Limit: Have fun.
Fastest Stretch: In the middle.
Utah might have a general 80 mph speed limit, but Bonneville has different rules. It might not be a road per se, but you can drive there and you can go as fast as you please.
Just don't get stuck in the salt.
