Bundesautobahn 20 (translates from German as Federal Motorway 20 , short form Autobahn 20 , abbreviated as BAB 20 or A 20 ) is an autobahn in Germany . The western part was initially planned as Bundesautobahn 22 . It is colloquially known as Ostseeautobahn ("Baltic Freeway") or Küstenautobahn ("Coastal Freeway") due to its geographic location near the Baltic Sea coastline. The road is not built along a straight line, instead it is built near important cities ( Wismar , Rostock , Stralsund ), to make it more beneficial for travel between these cities, and also to serve as bypass . On 25 June 2010 the land counsel of Lower Saxony decided that the A22 will be renamed to A20 to show it is a lengthening of the Ostsee- or Küstenautobahn.
