What is not expected of motorists in the district of Munich: bicycle lanes that give cyclists a feeling of arrogance, which they are happy to demonstrate by riding side by side, getting on the last nerve of the suffering car owner. Level crossings like in the imperial era, where – like in Ottobrunn – only the gate keeper is missing. And then there are these permanent construction sites on the A 99, the A 8, and even in the furthest corner of the district in Aying, where you have been denied access to the district of Rosenheim for weeks and you have to look for cumbersome detours.
On the A 8 southbound from the Munich city limits, maximum concentration is also required these days. The state is renewing the surface here, which after several test drives on the sections that have already been completed can be rated as thoroughly successful. However, the state-owned company poses a special challenge for motorists, which begins at the intersection of the Mittlerer Ring and the Autobahn: At the traffic lights, a real distribution battle rages on, jostling and honking for the best starting position, which is often accompanied by silent cursing behind the windshield and wild finger games is accompanied.
Most motorists now know that they have to fear inequality after driving through the tunnel under the Hachinger landscape park. There, the two lanes in the direction of Salzburg are divided at the ongoing construction site – and anyone who fails to switch to the left in time will trundle past Unterhaching at 60 km/h, while the quick checkers are on the other lane with a view of Airbus in Ottobrunn at 80 things rush along.
The two-class society on the A8 is of course due to safety, since there are currently quite short exits and driveways lurking in the right lane. If they are open at all – after all, Autobahn GmbH has made it fun for the summer to block them in a fixed order. So if you haven’t found out beforehand when you can drive up and down where, you not only have to drive slowly, you may also have to put up with long detours. Poor drivers.
