While I lived in Germany (1992-1997), most Autobahns I was using there did
have a speed limit (be it 100kmh or 130kmh). Even outside of urban
areas. Or if there was no speed limit it would be only for a short while
most of the time.

On the other hand, it is hard to find "outside of urban areas" in Germany
with the country being so dense populated :-)
