Going from Gate One towards Parsberg and just before Gate Five there is a section of roadway with a step slope and many curves. This section becomes very slippery due to moisture as there is little sunlight on it due to the trees.

This intersection has recently claimed the lives of a soldier and his wife. Speeding through this intersection is asking for an accident! For many years the traffic approaching this intersection from the right and left only had to yield. There are now stop signs in place, but many driver don’t stop or even slow down. You can have the right of way and end up

DEAD RIGHT!

AUTOBAHN EXCHANGE

HIGHWAY 2234, THE MOST DANGEROUS ROAD IN THE HOHENFELS COMMUNITY AREA

48

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.
