Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.
You must provide copyright attribution in the edit summary accompanying your translation by providing an interlanguage link to the source of your translation.

From the north border with Peru to north of Caldera, Ruta 5 is a two lane paved road with a speed limit of 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph). Between Caldera and Puerto Montt, the road was upgraded to a 4 lane freeway with 120 kilometres per hour (75 mph) as speed limit, 20% faster than Chile's common 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph) maximum speed limit. The highway ends in Puerto Montt, but it divides in two different routes, one crossing the Chacao Channel that separates Chiloé from the continent and another route named Carretera Austral (Spanish for Southern Highway) that was opened in the 1980s. The southern part of Ruta 5 crosses long extensions of native woods and important cities.
Freeway gradeedit
South of La Serena to Puerto Montt (1,494 kilometres or 928 miles) it is a 4 lane divided highway and toll road for the most part. It is Chile's longest freeway. The speed limit on the freeway is 120 kilometres per hour (75 mph) and as of May 2007 drivers must travel with their lights on all day long.
Tunnelsedit
Four tunnels are part of Route 5, namely El Melón, La Calavera I, La Calavera II and Angostura, which have lengths of 2,543 m (8,343 ft), 298 m (978 ft), 298 m (978 ft), 341 m (1,119 ft) respectively.[1] Each one of them carries two lanes of traffic, except El Melón Tunnel, the only tunnel that carries a lane in each direction.
