The first step for connections

● Transport is one of the first common policies of the European Union. It is governed by Title VI (Articles 90 to 100 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union). Since the entry into force of the Treaty of Rome in 1958, this policy has focused on the removal of barriers at the borders between Member States and, thus, contributed to the free movement of people and goods.

European road network is the responsibility of the UNECE. These numbers do not take into account the type of road and the presence of mountains or seas that can disrupt the route. It is based on a continental grid.
