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 Netherlands has the highest density highway network of Europe at 56.5 km (35.1 mi) per 1,000 km 2 (390 sq mi), followed by Belgium. The Autosnelwegen , the main corridors, are designated with an A while secondary connecting roads have an N number.
Bundesautobahn 9 near by Garching bei Muenchen, Germany. At the top of the hierarchy in terms of traffic flow and speed are controlled-access highways; their defining characteristic is the control of access to and from the road, meaning that the road cannot be directly accessed from properties or other roads, but only from specific connector roads.
Germany's autobahn network has a total length of about 13,192 kilometres (8,197 mi) in 2021 [23]), and a density of 36 motorway kilometres per thousand square kilometers (Eurostat) which ranks it among the densest and longest controlled-access systems in the world, and fifth in density within the EU in 2016 (Netherlands 66, Finland 3).
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.
By the end of 2004, the total length of highways open to traffic reached 1.871 million km, including 34,300 km (21,300 mi) of expressways up to advanced modern transportation standard, ranking second in the world. 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 ...
Brazil even invested 1.5% of the country's budget in infrastructure in the 1970s, being the time when the most investment was made in highways; but in the 1990s, only 0.1% of the budget was invested in this sector, maintaining an average of 0.5% in the 2000s and 2010s, insufficient amounts for the construction of an adequate road network.
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. [3] In Dutch a motorway is called "autosnelweg" or simply "snelweg"; other expressways are just called "autoweg" (literally: "car road"). According to ...
