It'll be intresting to see wether this is a good idea or not. Probably the later. I really don't see how this is going to work. What happens when it rains? And IF you do have an accident then it will certainly be worse with another 40 km/h on the speedometer..

that's what we need here in the states. no, not for down town
city traffic. but for the multitude of open freeways where you
constantly have to watch your speed even though you could do 90-
100 easy. bravo italy

Yeah, maybe it's a good idea in the states but here in Sweden (or Europe) were we have "relative" small distances comparing to you guys I really don't think we need it. But then again, what would Germany be without its Autobahn?
