Schematic: the line joins the points of the Location Code List in their order – not to scale, not a navigation map. Where the list has a gap, the line breaks too.
- Broken between Büderich junction and Düsseldorf-Rath (Übergang A52/B1): the Location Code List gives no course in between, so we draw no line there.
- Broken between Essen-Ost interchange and Gelsenkirchen-Buer-West (Übergang A52/B224): the Location Code List gives no course in between, so we draw no line there.

- On the Autobahn there is no general speed limit where no sign says otherwise; the advisory speed is 130 km/h. Drive faster and you can share liability in a crash. (Autobahn-Richtgeschwindigkeits-V)
- Rescue lane: as soon as traffic slows on a motorway or rural road with at least two lanes per direction, keep a lane free between the leftmost lane and the one beside it — immediately, not once the blue lights arrive. (§ 11 Abs. 2 StVO)
- 112 reaches ambulance and fire service (Europe-wide), 110 the police — free from any network, credit or not. (Notrufverordnung (NotrufV))
