Evolution of motorway construction in European nations
The evolution of motorways construction in European countries by total number of kilometers existing in that year. This is a list of the total number of Motorways by country in Europe. It includes motorways (controlled-access highways), classified as such by the Eurostat and includes countries that have not acceded yet to the European Union but geographically are situated in Europe.
The early beginnings. List of the European countries by the total number of kilometers of motorway built in that year during the first Half of the 20th century.
