Beautiful part of Spain. :) maybe someone will just make a short video of the Rock for us poor people that can't travel. ;) Great video once again, and I didn't mind being a bit squished in the camera for this one. :)
Exit 108A accurately marks the southern end of the E-15 and the beginning of the E-5 highway, they both run to the UK, but on two different sides of each of the countries the two routes run.
E-numbers appear to be rarely used in most of Europe. They are never referred to in the media, road authority press releases or traffic information, except in countries where they use them as a primary system (Belgium, Scandinavia).
I can understand that, Germany almost never features E numbers on their signs and neither does the UK. Most countries use E numbers as a secondary way of identifying roads, but you have quite rightly identified some countries where E numbers are fully integrated into the road network.
@@Huncd6814 The E-5 and E-15 get veeery messy in Algeciras. your comment is correct, it is the road signs that are wrong and even contradict each other, as in the panels saying E-5 A-7 and the mileposts saying E-15 A-7
I’d recommend Europe as a whole put forth a timeline to not only add E-Route designations on ALL Motorway signage within all countries, but to potentially & eventually have “priority” designation/positioning on same signs. As an American, long used to transcontinental route numbers everywhere, not just interstates but several secondary US highways, it seems highly counterintuitive to have major motorway designations change after around 600-800 kilometers with little reference to said transcontinental designations. At bare minimum, I see amateur commercial drivers much less first time road trippers quickly getting confused if they drive such long distances if they’re not too keen on looking up on Google maps among other things…
Are they going to upgrade the final miles accordingly? Or do they have 1960s-70s American levels of “Highway revolting” with what we see (several signals on a divided Highway) being the result of a compromise?
Spain is the only country with road signs in Arabic - totally pointless since all Moroccans can read the latin script. They even use archaic Arabic names for Spanish cities which arent even used in Arabic nowadays.
