This is a list of countries (or regions) by total road network size, both paved and unpaved.Also included is additional data on the length of each country or region's controlled-access highway network (also known as a motorway, expressway, freeway, etc.), designed for high vehicular traffic.
The Autosnelwegen, the main corridors, are designated with an A while secondary connecting roads have an N number. Sections of the A network are also part of the International E-road network connecting with neighboring Belgium, Germany and England, the latter by ferry. The speed limit is 100 km/h (62 mph) from 6.00AM until 7PM unless noted ...
The nation's highway density was 19.5 km per 100 km 2. With the completion in 2008 of the five north–south and the seven east–west national arterial highways, totaling 35,000 km (22,000 mi), Beijing and Shanghai were linked by major highways, chiefly expressways, to the capitals of all provinces and autonomous regions of China, creating ...
Country codes are defined by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in ITU-T standards E.123 and E.164. The prefixes enable international direct dialing (IDD). Country codes constitute the international telephone numbering plan. They are used only when dialing a telephone number in a country or world region other than the caller's.
A route (or road) number, designation or abbreviation is an identifying numeric (or alphanumeric) designation assigned by a highway authority to a particular stretch of roadway to distinguish it from other routes and, in many cases, also to indicate its classification (e.g. motorway, primary route, regional road, etc.), general geographical location (in zonal numbering systems) and/or ...
Detailed road map of the Netherlands (2012) The Netherlands has a public road network totaling 139,000 km, [1] one of the densest in the world. [2] [3] [nb 1] Its use has increased since the 1950s and now exceeds 200 billion km traveled per year, [5] three quarters of which is by car, [6] making it among the most intensely used road networks. [4]
[2] [nb 1] In 2013, 5,191 km were national roads, 7,778 km were provincial roads, and 125,230 km were municipality and other roads. [4] Dutch roads include 3,530 km of motorways and expressways, [1] and with a motorway density of 64 kilometres per 1,000 km 2, the country also has one of the densest motorway networks in the world.

There is a connection between traffic density and vehicle velocity: The more vehicles are on a road, the slower their velocity will be. To prevent congestion and to keep traffic flow stable, the number of vehicles entering the control zone has to be smaller or equal to the number of vehicles leaving the zone in the same time.
