is a German Autobahn that begins at the Dutch-German border near Goch and ends in Köln. It runs parallel to the Rhine River. Neuss and Krefeld are the biggest cities on this motorway. The A 57 is a continuation of the Dutch A77. Because of its high economic importance, its nickname is "Trans-Niederrhein-Magistrale". Most of it is two lanes each way and prone to traffic jams during rush hour.
Currently, sections 15–18, 19–24, and 29–30 have three lanes each way. The section from junction 28 to 29 southbound has the possibility to open the hard shoulder as a third lane in heavy traffic. Traffic jams are possible between junctions 10 and 15, 17 and 20, as well as around junctions 27 and 28. There is a variable speed limit between junctions 10 and 23. The sections from junctions 23 to 24 and 27 to 30 have a limit of 100 km/h. Between junctions 27 and 28, the limit was reduced to 80 km/h between 10 pm and 6 am.
