Driving in Germany and Austria: Autobahn A8 & A1 E52, E60 & E641 from Rosenheim to Salzburg

In this video you can drive along on Autobahn A8 & A1 [E52, E60] from Rosenheim in Germany to Salzburg in Austria - with a quick stop in Traunstein via Bundesstraße B306 in-between.
This is the last part of Autobahn A8 before the Austrian border and the only missing part of A8 on the channel. From now you can watch the entire Autobahn A8 from Luxembourg in the West to the border with Austria in the Southeast on this channel.
You can see from the design standard that parts of the A8 were upgraded from a Bundesstraße / expressway in the past since the shoulder is missing. Although on the surface it seems like there would be space for a shoulder, I guess it's been difficult to acquire the needed land from surrounding farmers / residents. This Autobahn gets especially crowded in the holiday season.
Traunstein is a nice little city not too far from the border with Austria. I just went there to get gas before crossing the border ;-)

Strange that that particular section of the A8 still hasn't been completely upgraded but for the most part has the same non-standard specifications of the Reichsautobahn when constructed in the 1930s. No hard shoulders, short exits and entrances, narrow bridges, winding route. You'd expect after nearly 90 years it would have been reconstructed a long time ago. 🤔🤫

The same thing with Polish A4 between Wrocław and Legnica
