Here is some information about European routes in Britain
Why aren't E-Routes signed in Britain?
The government decided many years ago that European routes wouldn't be signposted in Britain, unless they were entirely rerouted onto the motorway network. For a short time, an E-route marker was available for use, though as far as I know it never was used. It was a green rectangle with the E-number in white in the taller "Motorway white" font (used for other road numbers on motorway signs).
Where are the E-routes?
Since they aren't signposted, it's hard to tell. Many are redundant since they only follow one road, like the E-13 which is the M1 by any other name. Others criss-cross the country as well, joining with Europe by ferry lines. Therefore the E15 starts at Malaga, but ends up following the A1 and A9, and ends at Wick.

Notice that where the E-Routes run, major investment has been recieved on these roads in the past few years.
As many of you will have found, when driving on the Continant the E Routes signs are very helpful. I believe that now we should have them here to becuase nearly all of the routes now run on Motorways and or Dual Carrigeways.
Please Post your thought here. Thanks
