            E45 used to be E6 before the bridge was built.

            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.

      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.

        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.

      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.

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

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan-American_Highway?wprov=sfla1

          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.

          M ≠ m in metric

          Maybe not in academic notation, but in every day writing, it ABSOLUTELY is used as it and Mm isn’t used for kilometer anywhere lol

          Also, since we’re nitpicking, 5190 rounds to 5200, not 5100 😛

            Mm is absolutely used as a shorter form of 1000km where I 'm from, especially when you’re talking about the distance you (or your vehicle) travels per year.

          To write something I never thought I would, at least about myself: sorry for being needlessly precise 😁

    Had no idea it was an international thing, must have been on it hundreds of times in Sweden throughout my life. Gone from Gothenburg in the South to Hälsingland, north of Stockholm, about 2000km many times, to where my grandmother’s summer house is. I always enjoy the trip almost as much as the vacation there.

      Dude, Sweden is 1600km long, Gothenburg to Hälsingland would be somewhere in the ballpark of 600km.

      Other fun fact, all roads starting with E are international (in swedish they are called Europaväg)

  1. Posts must be a screenshot, crosspost, or link to someone using a bizarre unit of measurement (33 lanes wide, as heavy as 10 semi-trucks, etc.)

  5. Flag NSFW content as such. NSFW words in these posts don’t need to be censored.

  6. Post titles should be just the unit of measurement used (not the thing being measured!), and should be the full name of the unit (Apples and Bags of Apples imply very different things!) NSFW units should be partially censored. If there are multiple units, list as many as you want. If the source is satire, the title should start with [Satire]
