Renaming them seems logical, but since they pass through low density areas in Sweden it probably won’t ever happen.
Their E4 and E6 are the only exceptions to the naming convention, that north/south are odd numbers and west/east are even numbers. E4 and E6 should have been renamed in the early 1990s to E47 and E55, but they got to keep the old names in Sweden, because nobody wanted to pay for changing thousands of existing road signs.
So does the Pan American Highway, but if we are willing to call that 30,000 km, i am willing to give the Euros their 5,000 km highway to feel important.
But there’s a ferry in the middle
Should reroute it via the Øresund bridge and tunnel.
The bridge is already occupied by the E20.
But 45 > 20, so get out of the way.
E45 used to be E6 before the bridge was built.

Seems there’s two, actually, the other one being way at the bottom between mainland Italy and Sicily.
Can still count as the same route even if it’s not the same contiguous road, I guess 🤷
I presume you can load your car on both ferries, meaning you can technically “drive” the whole route
I know you can with the one between Denmark and Norway since I’ve been on it myself and yeah, it’s probably the case with the Italian one too 🙂
On this map, the ferry route is between Sweden and Denmark.
Helsingør - Helsingborg I presume.I presumed wrong. Must be Göteborg - Frederikshavn.Oh, right! I’m pretty sure that’s a car-ready ferry too, though 😁
I couldn’t see it for my finger but you’re right. They keep talking about building a bridge though. It’s a gap of about 4 km but it’s in Italy.

The circumference of the planet is 40,000 km. If you made a highway and it’s 30,000 km long you fucked up.

It’s not a direct path, since you can’t draw a line directly from Prudhoe Bay to Tierra Del Fuego that only covers land.
Oh, I thought it was in North America only. Sorry, I’ll give you this one.

The Panama Canal has a bridge over it, correct? Where is the ferry required? The Darien Gap?
