Those lines on the road surface seem quite complicated. Sometimes, there’s even a green colour between the lines. They’re even experimenting with a purple line on the road.
There are three different types of roads. These are access roads, typically designated as zones with a speed limit of 60 km/h.
Then come the distributor roads, often with a speed limit of 80 kilometers per hour.
The last are the through roads. These are the expressways and motorways.
To make things a bit clearer and more transparent, the following pages provide an overview of the different roads and their characteristics.
