I guess it's kind of usual with flat coasts. Most of the Dutch coastline is littered with sand dunes up to 50m.

Comparing photos of each, seems it looks a lot like the formations on the island of Rügen in Germany.

A tiny update, since ~2,5 km new motorway will open on monday. It's another part of the Road 18 in the middle of Jutland. It really wont be very usefull, until another part is ready next year, since it doesn't lead back to the old road (Only leads to a another new smaller road, to Billund airport).

Updated version of my map:

[x-type]

are there any signs or rumours that danish motorways could get A numbers?

[mlm]

/\ Don't think so, I've never heard about it.

What good would A numbers do to Danish motorways?

[ChrisZwolle]

A-numbers can better show what kind of road you are travelling on. Now a Primærruten (if i spell correctly) can either be a motorway or an ordinary 1 lane road.

I hope they will call it "Lego Motorvejen"!

I read somewhere that Legoland in Billund is the most popular tourist destination in Denmark after Copenhagen.

[mlm]

/\ I'm sure they wont, because the motorway is part of the "Midtjyske Motorvej" which will connect Herning and Vejle. It's true that the motorway ends where the new "Diagonalvejen" towards Billund starts, but next year the next motroway part opens, which will continue the motorway to Give (towards Herning).

Without being sure, I wouldn't be surprised if Legoland was the most popular tourist attraction outside copenhagen.

Ah, right. It's true that it's imporssible to know which roads are motorway and which are normal roads as it is now, if you only look at their numbers. Some kind new naming system for the motorways would be good. I don't think there are any plans for this though, but maybe it will come, since a bunch of the newest motorways are not E motorways.

One solution could be just to add an "M" in front of the numbers of the motorway parts, so for example M18 would be the part of Road 18 that is motorway. Another solution is of course to completely start over, and give all the motorways numbers from A0, A1, A2...or M0, M1, M2 and so on...

I still can't get my mind around why there's no freeway from Holbæk to Kalundborg and Odden..

Eventhough we got the bridges linking Jutland to Zealand over Funen there still seems to be some traffic on that rute.. plenty of ferries there anyway...

Gr8 thread Chris... I know these roads so very well... Maybe i add some xtra info.. i am pretty good informed about those danish roads

And Mr Denmark:

Møns Klint is ofcourse located on Møn

E45 Aalborg

Should be mentioned that on this part the only 'leftside exit' exist on the Danish motorways...... It is located going to the north on the E39 just after the fork betweeen the E45 and E39. Exit nr 10 Højvejen - Thistedgrenen. Pretty exceptional. I shall see if i can take a pic of that soon. I live in Aalborg, so

Right you are... but if Fanø is a part of Jutland then surely Møn must be a part of Zealand right?

[mlm]

/\ LOL, who has ever claimed that Fanø was part of Jutland?

[FREKI]

^Isn't it?

Ofcause if we did into all the technical stuff it isn't, but on that scale Amager isn't Zealand and the top of Jutland is an independant island too..

Møn's Klint is of course on Møn first and foremost - but calling it Zealand isn't that far from the truth.. ( plus even fewer on the board would have an idea where Møn is compared to Zealand - so to help the understanding and all that )

Okay okay.. but Fanø is still Jutland hmpf!

[mlm]

^To stay on the Fanø topic, I doubt you'll find many who consider it a as a part of Jutland. I've never heard anyone say that before. Just as I've never heard anyone call Møn a part of Zealand before.

But anyway, back on track with the thread....

[kosimodo]

Exactly... as promised... (After visiting yesterday the 2 new motorway-stredges at Give and Brande...)

The lefthand-side exit in Denmark... those are pretty rare this is Denmarks only 1









they r not thats sharp... but u get the picture

[ChrisZwolle]

Same location;

Left exit towards E39:


Whole E45 here

[kosimodo]

Duh, Chriszwolle does have a picture of the situation... Why rnt i suprised???

Any news as to when the bridge/causeway between Denmark and Germany will be started? ( Rodby-Puttgarden )
