As it turns out it doesn’t actually cost that much on regular transit, there’s an AIRPORT SURCHARGE because it’s an “airport train”.
No wonder Americans don’t use public transit, even when the system exists it’s ridiculously difficult and expensive to use.
so you live next to a highway ramp and your work is also next to a highway ramp? also what the fuck 112 km/h is extremely fast, i don’t think any road in sweden goes that fast.
70 MPH is the standard highway speed limit around here. And functionally, the traffic tends to flow ~10% higher than whatever the posted speed limit is. So a 70 MPH highway will tend to flow anywhere from 75-80 MPH instead. Cops won’t even bother pulling you over unless you’re well into the low 80’s.
We even have an 85 MPH highway. Since it’s mostly through a rural area and has an extremely fast limit, people 100% treat it like the autobahn.
The only time people actually respect highway speed limits are when it drops to 55 MPH. Lots of small towns will drop to 55 MPH, and the rural cops tend to set up speed traps for anyone doing over 55. They’re brutal, (and fighting them usually requires showing up to court in the middle of fucking nowhere,) so speed trap towns are basically the only time that drivers will actually go slightly below the limit.
This is actually an extremely common design. Businesses will consider where most of their employees live, and try to consider the commute when moving, so placing themselves just off a highway or major road theoretically makes it easy for their employees to get there. Nevermind the fact that said major road/highway chokes up from every employee commuting to their convenient exit to get to/from work 5 days a week
(another user) I live in Spain, in a city where most of the region come to work. We have the vet in a nearby town, so we usually go there by car. Getting out of the city into the town takes around 15 minutes, of which around 10 are spent on a 120KMH highway. Bikes can’t go on that road, completely banned, so they would need to go through another, way longer route. Yeah, it would take over an hour to go on a bike.
The people that live in that town that come to my city to work basically need a car, and it’s not like they can’t do their living in walking distance for every necessity but work. It is what it is.
120KMH is the max here, but it’s pretty common for highways to have that cap. Same for france iirc (130?) and germany, besides their funny uncapped road. In fact, sweden has very similar limits, where “motorways” go around 110 to 120. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_limits_in_Sweden
I’m surprised you don’t know this, do you have a license?
