fancy paintwork

Leave the tunnel behind, the long straight road  alongside the common ground, now being used as a parking space.
The road is being remade here, the surface has been removed on the right hand side, the traffic is restricted. There are yellow markings stuck to tar surface to guide the way. They supersede the old but permanent white markings.

Upon leaving the town turn on the cruise control. It is a tiny car, but it has these luxuries. Roll on at a rock steady one hundred kilometres an hour along the big federal road.
Bundesstraße elf, for those that want to know.

And that is the method to get to work, half an hour on the roads of Germany, all the other drivers want to go faster than they are allowed to.
Even on the motorway, the German Autobahn.
There is a construction work, half of the road is closed her as well.
And they all drive eighty where sixty is allowed. They would jostle, where it not for the fancy paintwork on the cars.
