You can't design a road for "no speed limit whatsoever". Britain's GErman Autobahns seem to throw that out of the window. Sure you can't design a road for "no speed whatsoever", but theres no need for a limit on many roads. At least that's what the most populous country in Euroep seems to think. Most populous != most densely populated, of course. England does pretty well in the densely populated stakes. A |

Most populous != most densely populated, of course. England does pretty well in the densely populated stakes. Whereas the whole of the UK does less well. Similarly, certain Länder in Germany do quite well. For example, Nordrhein-Westfalen had 519 people per square kilometre in 1992 (probably more now), which is quite a bit higher than England. And Nordrhein-Westfalen is a fairly sizeable Land, even if it's not the size of England.
