48. AUTOBAHN INTERSECTION
As with any autobahn intersection, you must be watchful of traffic merging off of and on to the Autobahn. What makes this exchange dangerous is that it is used by slow moving Military vehicles in convoys. Additionally, track vehicles that are railed loaded into or out of Parsberg must travel through this exchange. Expect to see traffic congestion here during training rotations.
