Completely new?

I kind of started hiking because of corona. I never hoke so much before the crisis but sitting at home all day became kind of boring. By now I've hicken through most of the municipality, with all of its forests and fields and altitude differences and drunk men in ditches and churches, so if the crisis will last any longer I may have to move elsewhere.

He’s right Segentova with this statement but going either way means that you’ll need to consider (if and when the need to look at these arise) prices of products and wages that are out of place as far as a number is concerned (but up to you relative to the rest of the region) to ensure realism.

Then there’s currency value going up or down IC over time, but that’s a whole other thing and I don’t think that’s what you were asking about.

Motorways of Ahnerten
Categories: Ainslie | Infrastructure

A motorway in Ahnerten describes a continuous road which has no traffic lights nor conventional intersections that is within or predominantly within the confines of Ahnerten’s metropolitan area. Rather, these roads have interchanges and exits as their primary form of traffic distribution. Owing to its planned design, the city has nine major roads which possess this classification - unusually high for an Ahnslen city where highways are much more common. These roads are known as the M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, M7, M8 and M9 respectively. Many of these roads function as bypasses to the CBD, diverting freight away from the busy city motorways. Additionally, many help service the city’s second airport in Onivarah in the northeastern suburbs.
The latest motorway that opened in the city was the M7 in 2009.

Ahnerten M1 Motorway

.........M1 Motorway.........

Statistics

Owner/Operator: Ahnerten Roads
Lanes: 6 lanes (three each way)
Length: 88km (54.7mi)
Opened: 1987
Route Number: M1
Major Junctions:
  • A1 Barradar Highway (Atande, Ahnerten)

  • M2 RiverConnect

  • M4 Northern Beltway

  • M3 CrossCity Motorway

  • A1 Barradar Highway (Menindara, Ahnerten)

Major Destinations: Airport Precinct, Lestern, Menindara

The Barradar NorthLink - also known as the Barradar Motorway - is one of Ahnerten’s major urban motorways and provides a link between the northern component of the Barradar Highway which travels to the Verdonian border and the southern component which makes its way to Watarah in the electorate of Burnessa. It connects to the M2 RiverConnect Motorway at Atande and at Fareen, the M5 Northern Bypass at Kenten, the M4 Northern Beltway at Kertande as well as the M3 CrossCity Motorway and the M9 Killarney Motorway north of Lestern and the M2 for the final time at Menindara. It was completed on the 2nd of April, 1987.

Course
The M1 Barradar Northlink begins in Atande, where the Barradar Highway feeds into a Y-link interchange that merges into the M1 and the M2. It then heads southwest through the Airport, west past Merrinten before shifting southwest again through Lestern and Kerlin before it links back up with the M2 at Menindara.

History
The former six lane Barradar Highway, which now forms the northern component of the M2 Motorway, the M9south of the CBD and the M6 south of Andara was already becoming congested and was seen to not accommodate for the growing centres of Lestern and Narara in Ahnerten’s west and southwest.

Several productivity reports suggested that a new, larger major road with higher speed limits would improve connections between other major Weslander centres such as Port Blacken, Herriden and Kianara amongst other cities in Ainslie. This is because almost all highways in Wesland flow through Ahnerten in some form.

In addition to this, 1985 led to preliminary plans for a new Ahnerten airport to be built due to a lack of capacity at Narara Airport. Much of Ahnerten’s south had already been zoned or sectioned off as conservation areas or national park, meaning that almost all of the plans would place a second airport in the Northern suburbs of the capital city. These plans were published mid-way through the construction of the M1, further consolidating and solidifying the need for the road.

The ideal corridor was slated to be between Menindara, a town considered to be outside of Ahnerten’s metropolitan area at the time, and the northern terminus to be in the region of Ralan, 55 kilometres north of the township and on the other side of Ahnerten. The road was then completed largely according to plan in 1987, being opened on the 2nd of April in that year. Reservations along the motorway’s corridor ensured large parklands were to be preserved.

The M1 Motorway was the first freeway through the Ahnerten metropolitan area to completely bypass the city’s central business district. It has been accredited as jumpstarting the regional economies of Menindara and Lestern, particularly the latter which has become considered to be the second major CBD.

Today, the M1 operates as a major federal government asset. It has been tolled since 1992 to fund the completion of other projects around the city and fund maintenance of the M1 under the oversight of Ahnerten Roads (AR), a government business enterprise linked to the federal government. West of Merrinten the speed limit is typically 90 kilometres per hour, whilst between Merrinten and Lestern is around 100 kilometres before hour before reverting to 90 soon after Lestern. The road offers an inner city bypass of the Ahnerten CBD.

The Future
It is likely that not much will be done to upgrade or expand the motorway, due to it being relatively winding and not connected to rapidly growing centres anymore but rather more established CBDs such as Narara and Lestern which now have road connections easier and faster than the M1. Instead, as rail corridors and faster outer suburban roads grow in popularity, exits will likely be closed down to reduce capacity and traffic on the roads in order to raise speed limits and provide a more direct route for truck drivers and other long distance road transport

Owner/Operator: Ahnerten Roads
Lanes: 4 lanes (two each way)
Length: 75km (46.6mi)
Opened: 1967
Route Number: M2
Major Junctions:
  • A1 Barradar Highway (Atande, Ahnerten)

  • M1 Barradar Motorway

  • A1 Barradar Highway (Menindara, Ahnerten)

Major Destinations: Airport Precinct, Berala Park, Ahnerten CBD, Narara

The RiverConnect - also known as the M2 or the Old Barradar Highway - is one of Ahnerten’s major urban motorways and links the northern component of the Barradar Highway at Atande to the southern component at Menindara through the thoroughfares of Berala Park, Ahnerten CBD and Narara. It connects to the M1 Barradar Motorway at Atande and at Fareen, the M4 Northern Beltway at Berala Park, the M3 CrossCity Motorway at Northbank, the M9 Blacken Motorway at Sesarin and the M1 Barradar Motorway for the final time at Menindara. It was officially completed when it linked Narara to Menindara on the 12th of May 1967.

Course
The M2 RiverConnect begins in Atande, where the Barradar Highway feeds into a Y-link interchange that merges into the M1 and M2. It then heads southwest through Berala Park, Ahnerten CBD and Narara towards Hillston before it links back up with the M1 at Menindara.

History
The M2 Motorway is the combination of the oldest highway in Wesland and one of the oldest motorways in the nation. The M2 obtained its name in 1967 when the road extended to Menindara from Narara. Productivity reports in the 1980s then recommended for a new motorway to supercede the M2, which would become the M1 and then traffic gradually reduced to only be comprised of direct travel to and from Ahnerten CBD.

Today, the M2 remains as a federal government asset and has been tolled since 1992 - the first of its kind under the new Federal Government scheme. The proceeds of the toll funds the completion of other road projects and the maintenance of the M2 under the oversight of Ahnerten Roads (AR), a government business enterprise linked to the Federal Government. Between Atande and Berala Park, the speed limit is typically 80 kilometres per hour before it is reduced to 60 kph between Berala Park and Narara. It then returns to 80 kph until it merges with the Barradar Highway at Menindara. It is the major north-south road linking the Ahnerten CBD to wider Wesland.

The Future
It is unlikely that much will be done to upgrade or expand the motorway due to a combination of high land prices and a shift in government planning policy towards decentralising the city to create Central Business Districts around Menindara and Lestern which are along the M1. The M2 remains to be the major link between Ahnerten CBD and the new Airport Precinct and is the major road that services Narara and the Inner Southwestern suburbs. Rail corridors and outer suburban roads with higher speed limits such as the M1 and M6 offer much more efficient solutions provided that drivers do not need to travel directly into the CBD. The M2 is likely to retain the number of exits it currently has and remains a vital component of Ahnerten’s road infrastructure - being the final stretch of road into the city for the M9and the M3 and all of its feeder roads.

Major Destinations: Lestern, Ahnerten CBD, Narlen

The CrossCity Motorway - also known as the M3 - is one of Ahnerten’s major urban motorways and links the M1 at Lestern in the Ahnerten’s west to the M6 in Ahnerten’s Eastern Suburbs through the thoroughfare of Ahnerten CBD. It connects to the M1 Barradar NorthLink, the M2 RiverConnect, the M6 Barradar SouthLink and the M9 Killarney Motorway. It was officially completed on the 8th of September 1973 when the conversion of the motorway from four lanes to six lanes was completed.

Course
The M3 CrossCity motorway begins at Lestern in Ahnerten’s western suburbs, it then tracks southeast towards its junction to the M2. It then crosses the Barradar River and enters Ahnerten’s CBD before it meets up with the M6 in Ahnerten’s eastern suburbs.

History
The M3 was created in 1973, where expected road traffic demand was forecast to rapidly increase. As such, it was seen that the M2 was not enough for eastern and western traffic but also did not offer these road users a direct enough route. It was one of the first private-public partnerships on infrastructure projects in Ainslie and stood as a success story for further projects to be completed in the nation.

Today, Reswen Cavane retains a comparatively small toll on the M3 which is designed to cover maintenance costs and the traffic emergency units that they employ and are responsible for across the Ahnerten network. It remains officially as a federal government asset and arrangements have been made for a handover if necessary. The speed limit across almost the entire motorway is 90 kph but there are some circumstances where it lowers due to hazards on the road or affecting the road. Alternatively, there may be roadworks. The M3 remains to be a major east-west connection road, especially for users who are seeking to get into the Ahnerten CBD.

The Future
It is unlikely that much will be done to upgrade or expand the motorway except for potential safety upgrades to the road itself. This is because much of the corridor now features areas with high land prices as well as the environmental impacts being too great and unreasonable. In addition to this, there is a shift in government planning policy towards decentralising the city to make Menindara and Lestern major CBDs of the city. The M3 remains to be a major link between Lestern and Ahnerten CBD. Rail corridors and outer suburban roads offer faster and more efficient solutions during peak hour with the assumption that users do not need to enter the Ahnerten CBD. The M3 is likely to retain the number of exits it currently has and remains to be a central feeder road for road users seeking to enter the Ahnerten CBD.

Major Destinations: Keversen, Kertande, Berala Park

The Northern Beltway - also known as the M4 - is one of Ahnerten’s largest urban motorways and links the northwestern suburbs to the eastern suburbs through the thoroughfare of Berala Park. It connects to the M9 Killarney Motorway at Kesanah, the M1 at Kertande West AND the M2 at Berala Park. It was completed in 1957. It also serves as the northern terminus for the M6 and the M9.

Course
The M4 Northern Beltway begins at the Western Receiver in Kalenide and tracks southeast, connecting with the M9 and then the M1 at Kertande. It then continues southeast towards Berala Park before shifting northeast through the eastern suburbs of Ahnerten.

History
The M4 forms what used to be considered as the Blacken Highway’s path through Ahnerten until 1978 when it was converted to its current dual carriageway form. It was one of the last major roads to receive upgrades which led it to be given motorway status, with the preference after this being the construction of new major roads through growth areas of the city.

Today, the M4 remains as a federal government asset and has been tolled since 1993, being the second motorway of its kind to be tolled under the new Government scheme. It is a triple carriageway (3 lanes each way, 6 in total) road between Kalenide and its eastern terminus where it becomes the dual carriageway Blacken Highway. The proceeds of the toll funds the completion of other road projects and the maintenance of the M4 under the oversight of Ahnerten Roads (AR), a government business enterprise linked to the Federal Government. Between Kalenide and Berala Park, the speed limit is typically 90 kilometres per hour before it is then increased to 100 kilometres per hour out until it becomes the Blacken Highway.

Between Atande and Berala Park, the speed limit is typically 80 kilometres per hour before it is reduced to 60 kph between Berala Park and Narara. It then returns to 80 kph until it merges with the Barradar Highway at Menindara. It is the major north-south road linking the Ahnerten CBD to wider Wesland.

The Future
The M4 remains a vital part of Ahnerten’s road infrastructure, facilitating rapid east-west travel and largely bypassing the inner core of the CBD in doing so. It is a major link for five major Ahnerten motorways and is likely to receive upgrades around these points to further smoothen travel. However, mass-scale expansions or new projects are unlikely to happen along the main sections of the motorway due to high land prices and the extreme economic impact that significant acquisition projects (which would be required) would have. Rail corridors now offer faster routes into Ahnerten CBD, although the M4 is still very popular with commuter and tourist traffic.

Owner/Operator: Ahnerten Roads
Lanes: 4 lanes (two each way)
Length: 40.8km (25.4mi)
Opened: 1998
Route Number: M5
Major Junctions:

  • Western end: Western Receiver (Kalenide, Ahnerten)

  • Eastern end: Northern Y-link with M1 to Airport, Lestern and Menindara

Major Destinations: Ferren, Narren, Ralan

The Northern Bypass - also known as the M5 - is one of Ahnerten’s shortest urban motorways and links the northwestern suburbs to the northeastern suburbs by snaking through the outer northern suburbs of Ahnerten before it links up with the northeastern growth corridor using the M1. It was the first motorway to be funded in significant part due to government-initiated tolling on other motorways, particularly the funds from the M1 and M4 tolls. It connects the M4 at Kalenide with the M1, providing a fast outsuburban route for northern suburbs residents to the Airport. In fact, it is often quicker to use the M5 than the M1 or M4 if you live in the ‘Northern Motorway Gap’, a large area serviced by arterial roads. The M5 was completed in 1998.

Course
The M5 Northern Bypass begins at the Western Receiver in Kalenide and generally travels west, passing through Ferren, Narren and Ralan before linking into the M1 west of Merrinten.

History
The M5 was a controversial road to build even from its planning stage. Many residents and interest groups believed it was ambitious and it’s ideation ‘tantamount to an ill-informed government with a gambling problem’. In 1998, it mainly was passing through towns hardly considered to be part of Ahnerten. However, in the coming decades as Ahnerten’s planners aggressively encouraged growth in the northern suburbs, the towns of Ferren and Narren would become considered as the northern edges of Ahnerten. They would become serviced by Ahnerten suburban trains yet would still maintain a semi-rural lifestyle, which remains popular with many Ahnerteners and Ahnslen residents alike.

What was also controversial was the redirection of funds from government tolls to the project, with over a decade of savings from these efforts funding a large part of this motorway. Today, the M5 remains as a federal government asset which has been tolled since its completion. However, the toll remains generally lower than other motorways. It is a dual carriage (2 lanes each way, 4 in total) road between Kalenide and its eastern terminus where it joins into the M1. The proceeds of the toll funds the completion of other road projects and the maintenance of the M5 under the oversight of Ahnerten Roads (AR), a government business enterprise linked to the Federal Government. Along almost its entire 40 km stretch, the speed limit is 110 kilometres per hour. It serves as an auxiliary east-west motorway, particularly popular with coaches and trucks, linking Ahnerten’s main airport with Western Wesland.

The Future
The M5 remains a major part of Ahnerten’s future-proofing infrastructure plan, facilitating rapid travel in the northern and outer northern suburbs, likely for at least the next decade. Mass-scale expansions are possible albeit unlikely due to the motorway still not operating at capacity or near it. Rail corridors are often slower than the road, with a lack of a railway line between Narren and Ahnerten CBD cited as a major city planning failure.

Major Destinations: Riverway, Andara, Linden, Maren

The Barradar SouthLink - also known as the M6 - is one of Ahnerten’s newest motorways and links Ahnerten’s inner northern suburbs with the southeastern growth corridors, snaking through Ahnerten’s east and bridging the gap of the Barter’s River. It connects the M4 to the M3 and M9, providing a fast solution for those seeking to navigate through Ahnerten’s eastern suburbs. The M6 was completed in 1988 after seven years of construction which was predominantly focused on linking Ravander to the M3.

Course
The M6 Barradar SouthLink begins at the Revindi West interchange in Ravender before travelling through the eastern suburbs of Ahnerten before its’ connection with the M3 and then the M9 before aligning southward to reform the Barradar Highway in its stretch towards Herriden and Watarah.

History
The M6, following the successful completion of the M9and the M4 was seen as the ‘inevitable motorway of the east’, with a link between the motorways almost immediately being placed on the agenda after the M4’s completion in 1978. It forms the backbone of eastern road infrastructure and was generally seen as quite popular amongst the people.

Today, the M6 operates as a dual carriage (2 lanes each way, 4 in total) between Ravendar and Benara, before it becomes the Barradar Highway as it leaves what is traditionally seen as the Greater Ahnerten Area. Unlike many other motorways in Ainslie, it remains untolled by the government or by those who built it. The maximum speed limit is 100 kilometres per hour, which is the predominant norm across the M6. Maintenance is undertaken by Ahnerten Roads (AR), a government business enterprise linked to the Federal Government. It serves as a major north-south motorway for Ahnerten and acts as one of Ahnerten’s Bypasses.

The Future
The M6 remains as a major motorway for Ahnerten, however rail infrastructure is continuing to surpass the road in popularity. Mass-scale expansions are unlikely due to high local land prices and a general lack of desire for the road to be upgraded. The rail corridor which is primarily aligned with the M6 is generally faster than the motorway.

Ahnerten M7 Motorway

.........M7 Motorway.........

Statistics

Owner/Operator: Reswen Cavane
Lanes: 4 lanes (two each way)
Length: 15.3km (9.5mi)
Opened: 2009
Route Number: M7
Major Junctions:

  • Western end: Revindi East Terminal, Ceraden

  • Eastern end: Rinden Valley Drive, Leonen

Major Destinations: Rinden

The M7 is one of Ahnerten’s newest motorways and is the only road in metropolitan Ahnerten that has tolls in operation that is collected by a private enterprises. It links the M4 to the steadily growing eastern suburbs, travelling somewhat eastward over the Barter’s River. The M7 was completed in 2009 after three years of construction through environments ranging from suburbs to paddocks

Course
The M7 begins at the Revindi East Terminal at Ceraden before it travels east southeast towards the Barter’s River before crossing it and tracking east towards Rinden before it switches into a single carriageway Rinden Valley Drive.

History
The M7 was planned since 2000, yet it was delayed for six years due to disagreements in the private-public partnership between the Electoral Government of Wesland and Devex. It services the outer eastern suburbs of Ahnerten and provides a quick route into the Ahnerten CBD from smaller townships on the outskirts of Ahnerten. It was completed in 2009.

Today, the M7 operates as a dual carriageway (2 lanes each way, 4 in total) between Ceraden and Leonen before it transitions into Rinden Valley Way shortly after Rinden. In a departure from the rest of the motorways in Ahnerten, it only links directly with the M4 and it remains to be owned by a private enterprise under a multi-decade lease. The maximum speed limit is 110 kilometres per hour and the speed limit is this across the majority of the motorway. Maintenance is undertaken by Ahnerten Roads (AR) on behalf of Devex Roads. It serves as a major connection for Rinden and the surrounding hamlets and suburbs and provides an accessible way for these people to get into Ahnerten’s CBD.

The Future
The M7 is currently a relatively auxiliary motorway for Ahnerten in an area where commuter rail infrastructure is relatively absent - the nearest station is about seven kilometres away from Leonen. Mass-scale expansions are unlikely due to the motorway lacking congestion issues and a general lack of pressing need for it to be upgraded for other reasons.

Major Interchanges

  • START 0km / 0mi - Revindi East Interchange, Ceraden

  • 10.6km / 6,6mi - Kesovo Road to Larana

Ahnerten M8 Motorway

.........M8 Motorway.........

Statistics

Owner/Operator: Ahnerten Roads
Lanes: 4 lanes (two each way)
Length: 50.1km (31.3mi)
Opened: 1992
Route Number: M8
Major Junctions:
  • Western end: Waitara Interchange (Waitara Park, Ahnerten)

  • M2 RiverConnect

  • M6 Barradar SouthLink

  • Eastern end: Blacken Highway (Walleray, Ahnerten)

Major Destinations: Waitara, Narara, Andara

The Blacken Motorway is one of Ahnerten’s major urban motorways and provides a link between the southwestern suburbs and the east and southeastern suburbs of Ahnerten. It connects to the M2 RiverConnect Motorway at Southee and the M6 at Artura. It was completed on the 21st of June, 1992.

Course
The M8 begins as an eastern interchange off of the M1 which extends from Waitara Park to the Barradar River near Narara in a southeasterly direction. The road then continues southeast over the Barradar River and the Barter’s River before reaching the M6 near Andara. The motorway then travels east before it links into the Blacken Highway towards Venterra and Port Blacken.

History
The M8 is one of Ahnerten’s newer motorways and was originally planned to extend into the Ahnerten CBD to provide a third connection into the city via road. The city connection idea was very controversial and it caused delays to the M8 project. Due to an increase in public support for rail infrastructure and the certainty around the tolling of the road, it attracted resident lobby groups and environmentalists to team up.

Following these intense protests, the road was then revealed in 1987 to have a different route through what was then the southern outskirts of Ahnerten, roughly following the alignment of the railway that was built in the area. In 1990, construction began with major parklands being cut through to build the new motorway in a compromise with environmentalist groups who were concerned about the nearby national park.

Today, the M8 is a dual carriageway (2 lanes each way, 4 in total) between Waitara and Andara before it transitions into the Blacken Highway as it leaves Ahnerten. It links to the M6 Motorway and the M2 Motorway and in doing so improved access to the M1 from these roads. The maximum speed is 100 kilometres per hour and this is the limit for the majority of the motorway except in the area around Narara where it is 90 kilometres per hour. Maintenance is undertaken by Ahnerten Roads (AR) and is also operated by the government business enterprise. It serves as a major connection for southeastern residents to Narara. It also provides a consistent, rapid route for these southern suburb residents to get into the Ahnerten CBD.

The Future
The M8 is currently a major motorway in Ahnerten yet it is primarily aligned to an existing railway which helps to ease capacity on the road. Mass-scale expansions are unlikely due to capacity not being reached and no urgent immediate planning issues with the road being identified.

Major Interchanges

  • START 0km / 0mi - Waitara interchange with M1 to Lestern, Kertande and Airport Precinct

  • 9.14km / 5.7mi - Taden Interchange at Tarindai with the M1 to Sulern and Lestern.

  • 12.4km / 7.7mi - Southee Interchange with M2 to Narara, Ahnerten CBD, Berala Park and Airport Precinct

  • 23.7km / 14.7mi - The River Road Exit to Ahnerten CBD and Banjirai

Ahnerten M9 Motorway

.........M9 Motorway.........

Statistics

Owner/Operator: Ahnerten Roads
Lanes: 4 lanes (two each way)
Length: 23.8km (14.8mi)
Opened: 2005
Route Number: M9
Major Junctions:

  • M4 Northern Beltway (Tarindai, Ahnerten)

  • TriRoad Interchange (M1 & M3) (Lestern, Ahnerten)

Major Destinations: Lemena, Lestern

The Killarney Motorway - also known simply as the M9 - is one of Ahnerten’s newest motorways and provides a link to Lestern and the M1 from the M4 in the northwestern growth corridor through the northwestern suburbs of Ahnerten. It only connects to the other eight motorways at its start and end where it connects with the M4 and at its end the M3 and M1. The M9 was completed on the 18th of February, 2005.

Course
The M9 Killarney Motorway begins in Tarindai and then travels in a roughly semicircular shape before finishing at Lestern, almost 24 kilometres away from its starting point.

History
The M9 was originally conceived in 1990 as a triple carriageway road which would link Lenene to Lestern, Narara and Andara. However, cost-benefit analyses indicated that this was not a worthwhile project to pursue and that it would cause major harm to natural environments and urban settlements. Two years after the original plans, the M9was built in a way that the M9 did not need to be built in the ground-breaking way it was predicted to have to. As such, the plan was put on hold until 2000 where a report revealed that there was a steadily increasing interest from developers and prospective residents to have a motorway built between Lenene and Lestern in order to cover what was a gap in Ahnerten’s infrastructure. With relatively small contributions from various investors, the M9 would become a reality in 2005 and the Government would pay down the debt successfully a decade later.

Today, the M9 is a dual carriageway (2 lanes each way, 4 in total) between Tarindai and Lestern before it links into the M3 and the M1 Motorways. The maximum speed limit on the road is 110 kilometres per hour for most of its course, until it drops to 100 km/h and then 90 km/h as it approaches the interchange at Lestern. Maintenance is undertaken by Ahnerten Roads (AR) and is also operated by the government business enterprise. It serves as an auxiliary connection for residents in the southwestern suburbs to reach the north and northwest but primarily services the growing communities that are proliferating around its exit ramps.

The Future
It is likely that not much will be done to upgrade or expand the motorway, due to it being completed quite recently and it has not reached capacity or faced major issues or problems that need to be rapidly resolved. The orbital railway line (in particular its extension from Lestern to Lenene), completed soon after the motorway, provides another option for those wanting to travel to the Northwestern suburbs and eases congestion on the otherwise busy motorway.

Major Interchanges

  • START 0km / 0mi - Taden Interchange with M4 to Airport Precinct and Harlessie

  • 11km / 6.8mi - Providence Road to Lemena

  • 18.9km / 11.7mi - Pioneer’s Way to Fainern

  • END 23.7km/ 14.8mi - TriRoad Interchange at Lestern with M1 to Airport Precinct and Berala Park and the M3 to Ahnerten CBD.

This is just for one city and non-urban areas have to rely on dual or single carriageway highways.

Are your nations highways state or privately owned, how extensive are they and are they part of a transnational system? Are they unlimited speed like the autobahn and do they have toll roads?

There are eleven numbered motorways in Nhoor (designated with 'C' for curswch or 'national'), which are mostly concentrated in the southern part of the country. Maximum speed is 108 km/h on most motorways but 120 km/h in Chur; it is reduced to 96 km/h when it rains. Due to Nhoor's duodecimal counting system, these (and other) speed numbers are indicated as 90 resp Ѧ0 and (in case of rain) 80, which can be confusing for foreigners. The motorways are state owned; apart from some sections around the capital, there are no toll roads.

State owned
You can get arround the country with relative ease by car, no worse than riding on any sort of public transportation.
Some are unlimited speed, especially in the southern lowlands, the rest are probably not. No tolls on publicly owned roads. Is'nt that why we pay taxes, people? There are private roads in Segentova and those tend to have tolls, but all motorways/highways are state-owned, so no tolls.

Ever wanted to colour in a Serpens Land flag for yourself? Well now you can.

Logged in for the month, saw this pop up in my notices.

Really warms my heart (and my ego) to see another nation expand on trivial things like this. Does a lot to help immerse one's self when nation-building imo.
