As far as I know, in Estonia there are no motorway standard roads. It's a dual carriageway, but it is a good qualitty and well made road.

Motorway standard, could easily be. But they're not designated as such.

Actually, you are wrong. Estonia has different standards for I class roads and motorways. The ones we have are I class roads by our standards. We should need wider shoulders, better lighting, wider medians, no U-turns etc. to consider these highways as motorways.

Wider median - put concrete blocks and it will do.
Better lightning - for what? Haven't seen many motorways with much lightning. On interchanges - yes, but that doesn't cost much.

Btw, does that road in pic has U-turns? Seems too nice to have shit's from 90's like that.

I'm just stating what the regulations are. Don't hate the messenger...

Few shots from Lithuanian road A9 section Radviliškis - Šiauliai. Whole stretch was reconstructed from ordinary 1x2 road, to 2x2 expressway standard road, so during summer period (from 1st April to 1st November) it has a speed limit of 110 km/h. Recoinstruction was done in two stages.

Pictures of 1st stage, which was completed last year

Unfortunately there are no fresh pictures of 2nd stage works, which were finished few weeks ago. 2nd stage works included a bypass construction of Kairiai town. Few pictures from construction area

One pic from November
