Bundesautobahn 95, Germany
Map of Bundesautobahn 95, Germany. 
Bundesautobahn 95 (Federal Motorway 95, short form Autobahn 95, abbreviated as BAB 95 or A 95) is a motorway in southern Germany, supposed to connect Munich with Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
The A 95 is part of the European route E533 for its entire length. The northern part, to the Starnberg 3-way interchange is adapted to the needs of a large city (in this case, the road has been expanded to six lanes). Thereafter, the route runs with less traffic past the east side of the Lake Starnberg along the Alpine foothills.
Contrary to popular opinion, the Bundesautobahn 95 doesn't begin at München-Sendling-Süd, but in 1,7 kilometers (ca. one mile) southwest at München-Kreuzhof.
The area in between, however, is a German Highway Code (Straßenverkehrsordnung) motorway, and therefore, it has the sign 330. The section is dedicated as the German Federal Highway Act (Bundesfernstraßengesetz) Bundesstraße 2. There are no truck tolls on this section.
The first kilometers, the A 95 is six lanes near the Munich metropolitan area, the motorway threading through the Forstenried Park (Forstenrieder Park). At the end of this stretch is the 3-way interchange Starnberg (Bundesautobahn 952 to Starnberg). From here the A 95 has four lanes.
The A 95 cross the districts Starnberg, Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen and Weilheim-Schongau until the motorway reaches the district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The Bundesautobahn 95 ends at a temporary junction in the south of Eschenlohe and continues past that point as the B 2. There is a connection to Garmisch-Partenkirchen and on to Mittenwald, Innsbruck, or Fern Pass.
There is no speed limit over large parts of the A 95. Only in the Munich metropolitan area is a speed limit set at 80 km/h (ca 50 mph). In the area of the Starnberg 3-way interchange a 120 km/h (ca 75 mph) limit was imposed until November 2007, ending a four-year trial period.
The A 95 is the only motorway that for the foreseeable future will not be connected to the German motorway network and therefore the A 95 has a more regional relevance. It connects the holiday region in the south of Munich with the state capital, and this section of roadway was placed in the Maxim magazine's Top Ten Roadways in the World for driving.
The northern section between Munich and Starnberg is extensively used during the rush hour.
Between the Schäftlarn and Wolfratshausen junctions is a rest area with a consistently managed service station on both sides of the motorway. In addition there are four parking spaces on both sides of the A 95 along the whole route.
