10 interesting numbers regarding Hungarian roads – PHOTOS

The Hungarian roads can be separated into two subcategories: private and public roads. Furthermore, public roads might be owned by either the government or the local government. There are many interesting facts about these roads, and vezess.hu collected 10 of them. Here is the list.

Number 1

How many kilometres long would you guess the Hungarian public roads are (only the ones between cities, towns, villages)? The exact number is 31,805 kilometres. The 75 percent of the entire Hungarian street-traffic uses these roads.

Number 2

These 31 thousand kilometres seem rather small if we compare it to the length of the roads in the urban areas because that number is 167,407 and this is only the length of the public roads. Over and above, there are the private roads.

Number 3

Budapest has the biggest road network owned by the local government, of course. Here, not only the city itself but also the districts can possess roads. It does make a difference when it comes to parking for instance. These are 4816 kilometres long.

Number 4

2347 kilometres of the roads crossing Hungary are part of the international European road network or “E-Roads”.

Number 5

The Hungarian express road network (so the highways and the motorway roads) are 1366 kilometres long. These exclude the junction branches, access and exit lanes… etc. If we add these up, we get another 438 kilometres.
