Has anyone checked this map???!!!! is completely erroneous, those latitudes are all bended!!!

In that map all the eastern part of Europe is pushed southward while the western northward.

For example Greece Italy and Spain share common latitudes in real life while in this map they don't as in real life.

Take for example Madrid that in this map is more to the north than Rome or Thessaloniki btw it shares latitude with Sofia

Not to mention that Galicia shares latitudes with....Switzerland and Wien!!!!!!

cheers to the person who made this funny map!

I don't see it.

Almopos it looks beautiful, new motorways look always so imsame, but when they get older they become normal.

Egnatia Odos will allways look impressive because of unusual quantity and intensity of objects. i allready have it allmost in same rang as italian A10

these motorways are just beautiful, thy are fucking awesome, they can be compared with struma motorway and probably are even better,I would love to drive on these motorways.

[wyqtor]

I agree with Radi and also I must add that these are the best lit tunnels I have ever seen!

But:

I even ust say that these motorways don´t look like normal roads and motorways, they look like nextgeneration monorail rails on Mars or some toher planet, I have never seen such motorways, really.

Yes you are right, i just guess that it isn't an entrance, i have no idea what it is though.

Btw as you can obviously notice, even those sections are not completely finished, they need to plant trees and i am quite sure that the parallel roads and entrances aren't finished yet, they actually opened it a few months before they should, due to the elections.

This is only emergency niche before tunnel. Look at other pictures of tunnel entrances.

the motorway looks great as most of greek new ones! but inside the tunnels i miss more LED lights and signs, especially for emergency!

Some construction pictures of the A-12/E-79 Serres-Promachones (Greek-Bulgarian border) motorway. Pictures are from stadia.gr member Alter100.

[wyqtor]

From those pictures above it looks like the (in)famous Struma Motorway will be getting a worthy follow-up after the border!

you have always something to complain about.

[Verso]

^ You're the one to say that.


Btw, how many of you people are interested in photos of roads under construction? Cause I'm not. Of course you have all the right to post such photos, I'm just asking.
