actually track implies even within Germany different things (legally,
due to the federal organisation), as in "Baden-Württemberg" it is
generally forbidden to use them even without special signs, where in
the rest of Germany you can use them if there is not a sign to forbid
it (which in some parts is nearly always, in others it is generally
tolerated but not recommended to use).
