Btw you can do it also in Germany more or less.
I believe it’s possible also in France .
Edit: don’t want to insult anyone, I was just curious, nothing else.
Imagine the horror of not being able to escape France. Truly a fate worse than death
Yes, those are countries, not single states within a country. Different things.
edit: ya’ll are acting so fucking weird in this comment thread. Jesus Christ I don’t even give a shit about the size of America or the US/EU pissing contest, I was merely and correctly pointing out the non-equivalence of the items being compared. Holy shit get a fucking life if you give two shits about the topic itself, goddamn. The hate boner some of you have for one country or another to the point of spite downvoting and intentionally misinterpreting shit is fucking ridiculous.
You guys get to make fun of the imperial system, and healthcare, and fahrenheit, and gun crime. Let us have one thing.
About your edit, that’s why I added the disclaimer on my first comment lol. I fully knew it would degenerate in a biggest dick contest and wanted to avoid being part of it.
Yes, how is this relevant? The point is they were comparing the length of time to cross a single American state to the time to cross an entire country, which are two different things. Driving through Texas isn’t equivalent to driving through Germany, it’s equivalent to driving through Bavaria.
For comparison, Bellingham, WA to Key West, FL. Same country, 2 days without stops.
I tried Brazil. Got 79h going East to West from Recife to Cruzeiro do Sul and 90h going South to North from Chuí to Oiapoque. Granted, our roads aren’t the best but you’re still looking at over 5000km of travel either way.
That’s a long ass road trip, thanks for sharing. I was trying to get directions from Alaska to southern Argentina but Google said nope
In addition to the other comment about it being a single state within the US, we’re also talking about roughly 1500-1600 kilometers in the Texas map. It would mostly be 70-75mph (120kph) highways the whole way.
My question is how much of that is highway travel and/or straight? In the Texas map most of that travel will be highways at 80mph. I know Germany has the autobahn but living in Colombia has made me suspicious of long travel times which actually have short distances traveled since this country is very mountainous and I don’t think a straight road exists here.
1/3 to 1/2 of the Texas trip will be interstate highways. The rest is mixed bag of divided highways with at grade crossings and two lane highways.
Just for funsies I looked it up and Miami FL to Seattle WA is a 48 hour drive. Longest I found within the continental US upon a quick googling of recognizable cities.
Thats a bit more than the Alaska to Miami drives I found. I think there one where you can drive all the way to an arctic research base in a similar timeframe.
You’re comparing an entire country to the US’ 2nd largest state of fifty, though.
Yeah, but you aren’t driving that fast in Germany, apparently. The Texas trip will be over 1,400 km.
Yeah, but you aren’t driving that fast in Germany
*confused autobahn noises*
