They used to be signposted with concrete Michelin signs... the 130 kph speed limit was imposed on the autoroute network in 1973.

Maybe that sign with CSR was older. From times when name CSR was used for Czechoslovakia. I think it was before 1960.

btw, it's so interesting to watch the cars: in ČSSR old Škoda, DDR Trabant and Wartburg, Poland Polonez and Polski Fiat, Yugoslavia Zastava (but in Yugoslavia we had quite a mixture, a lot of german cars (Beetle, Wartburg, Trabant), Škoda, Polski FIat, Renault 4 (we had a factory)... my grandpa had exactly the same Wartburg as in photo of Jankomir interchange

Mateusz · January 8th, 2008, 11:42 AM

I can post some pictures of FSO Polonez and Polski Fiat 125p/FSO 1500

But I worry about that it will be off topic...

KIWIKAAS do you have any old photos from Wellington?

Stifler · January 8th, 2008, 03:06 PM

This is a good example of the evolution happened in the Spanish network in the last decades.

A 'Comarcal' road (¿CV-159?), 'Nacional' road (N-VI) and Autovía (A-6).
