The Pan-European motorway network (E-roads) extends farther than the EU, into for example Norway and Croatia (the 28th full member of the EU from next year, by the way). The E40 goes to Kazakhstan. Some countries use only the designated E number for its motorways, some like France and Ireland use both the E and the old A (Autoroute) and M (motorway) numbers together on their signs, the UK has promised to submit the idea to Parliament’s Transport Committee in 2097.

If it wasn’t for the SatNav we could driven to Turkey if we had to rely on the road signs!Cheers Alan Sussex View posts on The Mail Archive http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Modify Your Subscription ------------------------------------------- View posts on The Mail Archive http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ [http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/] Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=22459785&id_secret=22459785-4a39ddf8 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
