Wow, what country is this?
Do you know the "Autoroute blanche" (A40) between Lyon and Chamonix? It's about 200km, and there's a lots of tunnels and viaducts on the last 140km.

Here are the main viaducts:

Egratz: Impressive because there are 2 lanes on the bridge and 2 lanes on the mountain (on the left on the first picture)

HISTORY

The first motorway in France was opened in 1946
between St cloud and Orgeval

In 1967 they are 1000 km of motorway in France

In 1981 5000 km of motorway

In 2001 11810 km of motorway

[Macca-GC]

Motorway's in Oz are called that because they have tolls on them don't they? Non tolls roads in QLD, NSW and in all other states are called Freeways.

It's only in New South Wales that they call tolled limited-access, split grade roads motorways and one's without tolls freeways.

In Queensland we used to call them all sorts of things, Ipswich Motorway, Western Freeway, Riverside Expressway, Gateway Arterial Road, Hale Street, Inner-City By-pass, Centenary Highway. Now they're gradually all being converted over to Motorways, even though only two(The Logan Motorway and the Gateway Extension) are tolled. The Gateway Bridge is also tolled, but not the motorway itself. The only 'freeway' left is the Western Freeway, which will probably be changed if the Western Link of the TransApex plan is built or when the do all the bus priority stuff out there. But yeah, it doesn't have to be tolled to be a motorway.

Victoria calls them all freeways, regardless of tolls

Western Australia calls them all freeways. They don't have tolls anywhere

South Australia's got the Southern Expressway.

Although not a multilane highway but as this is an extremely remote area thus this is a good start.

Pakistan's new highway is 760 kms long and has been constructed in a very remote yet beautiful area. The road stretches from Karachi city to the town of Gwadar which is near the opening of the Persian Gulf.
A new port is being constructed in Gwadar for handling of cargo mainly for the Central Asian landlocked states.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v197/kt10208/Development/247383875blZXFK_fs.jpg
The highway stretches through strange rock formations formed by the action of millions of years of abrasive sea winds.

[Red aRRow]

Beaches and mud volcanoes are not the only tourist attraction here The landscape itself, all along the highway, and specially in the 75 km Buzi Pass is a pleasure to watch and wonder over Allah's creations in terms of geology. Road in the Buzi Pass passes along cliffs - nay walls made of clay.

Even more interesting are the patterns and 'art forms' that the 'walls' host. One could see columns of Roman era buildings, statues of women and beasts, interwoven branches of old banyan trees which sometimes appeared to be the 'chutya' of a woman's long hair.

Buzi Pass, with a maximum height of about 1,500 feet above sea, is the only place in the Pak-India subcontinent which had found that Alexander the Great was as vulnerable as any other big leader, if he ignores 'the ground realities'.

The ground here is difficult to traverse and there is just not enough water and food. Here he suffered more casualties than in all the battles he had fought in the subcontinent.

[invincible]

Victoria calls them all freeways, regardless of tolls

The tolled freeways here go by their commercial names - Citylink North and Citylink East. There's Eastlink as well that's under construction and it will probably stick to that name rather than the previous names of Scoresby Freeway and Mitcham-Frankston Freeway.

And there is also the M80 Metropolitan Ring Road/Western Ring Road which also doesn't have the freeway tag.


Another interesting thing is the inconsistent numbering scheme, where some have an alphanumeric designation and others still have the metro route number in the blue shield - Melbourne's freeways are designated M1, M8, M31, M79, M80, M420 as well as 11, 43 and 83.

Australian Highways are more European looking than American looking.

[NorthGermany]

^^it's a mixture :)

[Accura4Matalan]

^^it's a mixture :)
I agree. The more rural sections look like the American interstates with the large strips of grass in between the two carriageways. In Europe, we tend to have barriers in between all the way along our motorways.

The Rodovia dos Imigrantes (Imigrantes Motorway in english) is part of a huge 5+5 250km system in São Paulo state, between Campinas (where is located the Silicon Valley) São Paulo city, and the Litoral Norte (Northern Shore) of São Paulo state. The motorways are: Bandeirantes-Anhangüera system (between São Paulo city and Campinas) and the Imigrantes-Anchieta system (between São Paulo city and the Litoral Norte-specifically the city of Santos, that is considered to be the biggest seaport in Latin America and the third in the Southern Hemisphere-after Durban and Perth-I think...). These motorways are some of the most crowded in Brazil, and are all tolled. The Imigrantes Motorway is one of the most modern, it is made mainly of huge viaducts and tunnels that make a fast link between São Paulo city and the Litoral Norte. The Bandeirantes Motorway is considered to be the best in Brazil, along with the Dom Pedro Motorway (linking the Via Dutra Motorway-that is the motorway along the Rio de Janeiro-São Paulo megalopolis, a region that has about 50 million inh., and is one of the most developed in the whole world) and Campinas, and the Ayrton Senna-Carvalho Pinto motorway system, that runs along the Via Dutra Motorway for about 200 km on São Paulo state. Another motorways are being built, and in a very short time we will have a huge system linking the most developed regions of the country. For example, we are now about to finish the Mercosul Motorway, that is going to link Belo Horizonte, capital of Minas Gerais state, passing through São Paulo city, Curitiba (capital of Paraná state), Florianópolis (capital of Santa Catarina state, and considered to be, along the northern part of the state-Florianópolis is right on the middle of SC state- part of Brazil´s second Silicon Valley) and Porto Alegre (capital of Rio Grande do Sul state). This so called Mercosul Motorway is going to have almost 1800 km of 4 lane-6 lane motorway, being one of the most important in Latin America. We are also starting to build the so called Northeastern Corridor, that is a huge motoray system linking 6 of the 9 northeastern capitals in 4 lane motorways, from Salvador-Feira de Santana in Bahia state to Natal, in Rio Grande do Norte state; this is going to be about 1200 km long. We have also another motorways system being built, like the São Paulo-Brasília link, that will have about 1000km of 4 lane-6 lane- 8 lane motorways through the country´s "hinterland". Well, if you guys want more informations about our motorways, please ask!!!!

[Accura4Matalan]

Impressive :cool:

[miamicanes]

Wow! If you ignore the mountains and side of the road the cars are driving on, that road could be anywhere in Florida. Literally. It has inside AND outside emergency lanes, concrete barriers, wide lanes, American-style stripes, and all. The older part has a few scattered metal barriers, and a few fancy concrete ones... the newer part has solid concrete barriers and vertical retaining walls. It even has green signs with white letters! The billboards, strip malls, McDonalds, 7-11, and other stuff alongside the exits just makes it look even more like an average Florida freeway. It looks like they literally downloaded a copy of the official Interstate Highway Standards Manual, went through it and changed the left and right orientations, and said, "Done." :) Impressive!

It seems to be that way in most countries outside Europe (at least the specifications part).

[dinp]

I'd hate to be the one who has to cut the grass in the middle :eek:

[miamicanes]

Yeah, lots of the new roads in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Australia, Spain, etc. are structurally similar to US roads, but then you look at the signs and see the stern-looking angular schematic arrows, blue backgrounds (on things besides "rest stop" signs), international symbols, and it just kind of destroys the illusion. Even when you see the Thai writing, nothing about the Thai signs really jumps out and shouts, "Foreign Country!" :)

[LtBk]

All highways are similar because they follow the same concept we been doing for over 50 years.

[FM 2258]

Here is part of the Merrit Parkway I drove in November 2005 in Connecticut. Had a plane to catch in New York City after visiting New Haven, CT and I loved this highway because I was consistently doing 90mph. Everyone drove pretty fast on this highway with no police.

Okay, someone told me to upload my pics of Spain here. It is really a load of pics, but not such large pics, as you seen throughout this forum.

The route:

[ChrisZwolle]

What does those IC and IP numbers mean? Why doesn't Portugal have A or R (rodovia?) numbers for its motorways?

[fred_mendonca]

In Portugal we have different designations for the roads. First we have the IP's and IC's. IP means main road(connects all the district capitals and important towns) and the IC's, complementary roads that connect cities with less importance. These two types of roads can be applied to highways and national roads. But, the highways have also another designation that starts by an A plus the number of the highway. For example, the A2 that connects Lisbon to Algarve is also the IP1 because connects two important regions. The pictures that I put are from the IP2 which is a national road with some improvements because connects several district capitals in the interior of the country so was designated IP2. Finally, the IC1, when the A2 didn't exist was the IP1. But, when the A2 was built he was renamed to IC1 because now the main road from Lisbon to Algarve is A2-IP1(Highway number 2 and main road number 1).

Some pictures of the A20 freeway in central France. This is not where I live but this is where I was born and grew up.

It's interesting how the road signs are very similar to UK 'A Road' roadsigns, but the highways are more like US Highways than European ones.

I'd love to drive around Australia one day...it looks like a great place for someone like me who loves the open road.

Really wide roads and huge interchanges are nothing more than a sign of bad city planning. If the city is planned right it can keep traffic flowing, meaning that you don't need wide roads. If there are traffic problems in a city then putting a wider road in doesn't solve the problem, it just creates a bigger problem at the junctions when people pull off onto the narrow streets.


EarlyBird would seem to be a new nicname for either former Councillor Gordon Price, or perhaps someone with the City of Vancouver traffic engineering department.

Really wide roads and huge interchanges are nothing more than a sign of bad city planning.

No, they're a sign of politically-incorrect highway engineering. Adding one or two lanes to a gridlocked road doesn't do much to help. Rebuilding a 6-lane gridlocked road into a brand new 12-16 lane road with braided ramps and high-speed 6-level stacks that segregate traffic entering and exiting within 4 miles of it and shift it to levels 5 and 6 so it doesn't interfere with the people driving 10-20 miles, then doing the same with every other freeway in the area, and simultaneously improving the local collector roads with synchronized traffic lights and a few SPUIs at major intersections absolutely, positively, will. People who get all bent out of shape about sprawl will go into convulsions at that point and whine about how many buses $10 billion could buy...

... but the fact is, the normal people who live there will be delighted because they don't want buses. They might grudgingly use a subway if it's less than a thousand feet away and has an air conditioned corridor leading to it, but building a grade-separated transit network capable of running trains at 90 second headways that's less than a block from everyone's home, office, and stores capable of providing a travel experience remotely comparable to the convenience and comfort of a Lexus SUV would be cost-prohibitive... even if the materials were free, and you had outright slave labor to build it. And even a PRT system would suffer from the tragedy of the commons -- people abuse and trash what they don't own. So half the cost of running the system would be just cleaning out everyone's trash and fixing the damage inflicted on it by the riders.

The fact is, given a choice, most people want either a single-family home with private yard and big garage, or a penthouse with private terrace and reserved garage parking in a big city. Few people can afford a penthouse in a big city (partly because someone has to occupy the condos and apartments below them), so they settle for the next best thing: a single-family home in the 'burbs. Big cities are nice, vibrant places to live, but few people can even fantasize about affording anything remotely comparable in a dense urban area that they could afford 30 miles away. At the end of the day, it's cheaper to pour a hundred miles of concrete horizontally to facilitate a hundred thousand homes built on cheap rural land than it is to try obtaining a comparable amount of space (including private outdoor recreational space) by going up.

I lived in Texas for a few months a couple of years ago -- northwest Plano, to be exact. On paper, it represents the worst of everything the anti-sprawl people grouse and whine about. In reality, it was an incredibly nice, convenient place to live. There was absolutely nothing within a mile walk of my apartment (by Headquarters Drive @ Preston Road), but everything was a painless 5-10 minute drive away. For Plano's solidly upper-middle-class residents, life is definitely good. In Miami, just getting to McDonalds 3/4 of a mile away is an excruciatingly painful 5-10 minute drive through gridlock.

Big cities need massive freeway networks. They also need solid, fast, reliable mass transit that serves major destinations of interest to visitors and people who live there. You can't neglect either. Subways can't go everywhere... they cost too much to build and run. Roads can't go everywhere, either... beyond a certain density, just handling the parking needs and access roads becomes impossible. What's needed is a balance... a fast, efficient transit network serving dense clusters along transit lines, with low-density residential development served by roads in between... with big, huge freeways connecting the dense clusters and sparse residential areas keeping everyone happy. :)

well the reason why Toronto has such a large highway is because so many people live there and its the economic lifeline of that entire area. The amount of Truck Traffic is insane. Thats another reason why highways should be nice and wide is that so commerical traffic can enter and leave the city easily. Its the foundation of our economey here. Plus in Canada it gets cold up here in the winter so people need cars to get around.

I however don't agree that highways should be built all across the city. A highway does not belong going right through the center of a city. It belongs on its outskirts or in the less dense areas.

Also it's all about geography. If there is a lot of empty land to build on, there will be sprawl and lots of new houses. If there is no empty land then people build up. Well they have run out of land in the city of Toronto itself. There is lots of land in the suburbs still so there are a lot of houses being built. However a lot of people want to live in the city and there is no room for new homes there so they must get denser.

You can't make a city dense, it only can get dense if the factors exist for it to get dense.

First, some pics of Canadian freeways (actually, one freeway :)). I took these
pictures when driving from Montreal, which is in the French-speaking Canadian
province of Quebec to Toronto, Ontario (where I live).
Interestingly, as Highway 401 of Ontario turns into Autoroute 20 of Quebec
(essentially it is one continuous road), it becomes progressively worse :) I
guess Ontario invests more in its roads. Also, the acceleration/deceleration
lanes in Quebec are shorter. However, Montreal has insane tunnels which
run under most of downtown area.
So, sorry for the bad quality, it was somewhat stormy when I took these :)

Entering the gigantic tunnel in Montreal:

By the way, Australian states are currently in the process of transitioning to the European system of route numbering (alphanumeric route numbers, for example B420), which is why some route numbers are in shields while others are of the alphanumeric type.

^^ Do you prefer the European system with a Letter-prefix (A 1, M 1) or the American system with fancy number-shields?

The first time I saw the alphanumeric system in operation was when I visited Victoria in the early 2000s. They had just switched over to the new system. I initially thought it was a stupid system, mainly because the shields looked nicer than three/four character-long route numbers in bright gold text.

But the new system has really grown on me, mainly because it seems more natural to say "the M80" than "ring road 80". Also, under the new system you can judge the quality of a route without ever having driven on it before. Theoretically, M roads offer the highest standard driving conditions and are therefore better than A roads, which are better than B roads, which are better than C roads. Under the shield system it was simply national highway, national route and state route. And in many cases, state routes were of higher quality and importance than national routes and national highways, which to me made no sense at all.

Also, the new system seems to be succeeding at getting motorists to refer to route numbers instead of road names. You may have noticed in those pictures that road names are signed alongisde route numbers most of the time. That's because Australians have traditionally referred to road names rather than route numbers. That has to do with what I said before... "Pacific Motorway" is easier to say than "National Route 1". Now nearly everybody just says, "the M1".

Trent.

[Vinny was here]

I also prefer the alphanummeric system, for one simple reason: To navigate easily you can simply identify M 1. When you're in America you just have to know that US-73 is referring to a certain numbershield, wich is not easy for common foreigners.
I live in the Netherlands where the numbering is quite simple:
A x: Motorways
N x: Main roads, wich are not Motorway
In some areas you can find s -routes (cityroads) and r -routes (touristic routes)

This is the last batch of Australian photos I'll post... I promise!
