Motorway A1: From the Lotte/Osnabrück intersection across part of Lower Saxony to the border between North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony in the area of the Osnabrück-Nord junction and in the opposite direction.
Motorway A2: From the Bad Oeynhausen intersection to the border between North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony in the area of the Bad Eilsen junction and in the opposite direction.
Motorway A30: From the border between Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia in the area of the Rheine-Nord junction to the border between North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony in the area of the Hasbergen-Gaste junction and from the border between Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia in the area of the Bruchmühlen junction to the motorway junction Bad Oeynhausen (Autobahn A 2) and in the opposite direction.
