: "A 1" is short for "(Bundes-)Autobahn 1" and such numbering is separated by a space. See [http://bmvbs.de/DE/VerkehrUndMobilitaet/Verkehrstraeger/Strasse/strasse_node here], for example; the documentation for OpenStreetMap contributors is [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Germany/Kreisstra%C3%9Fen#Hinweise_zum_Taggen_und_zur_Benennung explicit] on that. - Well, this isn't much more than explanations and some more or less official sources for the moment... Maybe I have a clue on where to seek for the source of some confusion with this space: In typesetting, the correct way to set it is a narrow space.--[[User:Speckmade|Speckmade]] 20:31, 9 February 2012 (CET)
: Official rules are [http://www.ids-mannheim.de/service/reform/ here], I guess.--[[User:Speckmade|Speckmade]] 20:44, 9 February 2012 (CET)
:: If you need the space, then you can write <nowiki>[[A1 (Germany)|A 1]]</nowiki>, with the space behind the second A. While I began creating the motorway articles, I looked for examples and the former articles all hadn't a space in the article's name. --[[User:GeorgDerReisende|GeorgDerReisende]] 22:55, 9 February 2012 (CET)
