The autobahn also has cameras along the entire road and have electronic
signs that will open or close the shoulder lane based on conditions. If
there is an accident and resulting traffic jam they will use the cameras
to check the shoulder throughout the area (look for debris, broken down
cars, etc) and only when the know its clear will they open the
shoulder. It is not normally open for driving.
Europe also enforces traffic laws besides speeding and "rolling" through
stop signs.

autoban; mind you, there are less accidents on the autobahn than the
American interstate...it's crybabies like you that cut short any sort of
innovation in this country.
