      Really is a shame the Iberian peninsula uses a different track gauge. That core route is really calling out for a truck-train (a.k.a. Rollende Landstrasse for my German peeps).

      Well, now I know why Lille (northern france, the epicenter of the traffic) is so saturated with them.

      I don’t know why it reminds me of the game map from Euro Truck Simulator 2.

      Southern corridor Athens – Madrid via Belgrad, Lubjana, Milan, Marseille, Barcelona spotted.

      The missing link is Bulgaria – Turkiye.. Hella traffic cus it’s Asia – Europe yk

      I don’t get how to read this map. Are basically all trucks in east and south east europe only doing 2500+ km drives?

      Driving in Belgium is like driving on an open warehouse road. It’s horribly CONgested(thanks for correcting )with trucks.

      I don’t know how homogeneous the data is but this is one of the most esthetically stunning, informative and eye opening maps I have seen in ages. To my French eyes it makes the need of rail corridor so, so clear : large swath of truck cargo transportation already is concentrated in a few corridors within my country (Lille – Paris – Tours – Bordeaux – Biaritz above all but also Dijon – lyon – Marseilles – Perpignan – Barcelone).

      This is why German Bridges are close to collapsing,they were build mostly in the 60s and 70s when there was no traffic going to or from east germany.

      This is why the Maut in Germany, although the way they tried to do it was the worst and stupidest way possible, needs to be a thing at sometime. Germany is the biggest economy in Europe but that’s just too many long high traffic Autobahns at the same time.
      Being the connecting piece in Europe is just a huge strain to the road network and somehow we managed to fuck up and not get the stuff on the rails.

      No Helsinki-Tallinn freight by sea route feels liek it must be wrong. There’s very frequesnt ferries between said two cities.

      I always found it weird that the route between Hoogeveen and Zwolle was so full of trucks compared to the rest of the roads. Looking at this graph, I’m even more confused. Do trucks just materialize out of nothing?

      My hometown, Nuremberg is quite crazy in that context. It’s the place where two major streams cross. In all other places you have branches and starting/destination spots.

      What is the really straight highway between Zaragoza and Valencia? I don’t see it on a map?

    34. dilodjali on

      A very little thing, but Kudos to whoever made the map, since they added the name of every country in their own language.

      Italian traffic be like Milan to Germany and to the main ports (Trieste, Genova).

    36. Romek_himself on

      yeah, sux! i wish we would reduce transporting goods on trucks and use trains for it.

      i am from Dresden and on the Autobahn this days are way to much trucks.

    37. WiseBelt8935 on

      That famous road running straight from north-west England to southern Ireland?

    38. Inner_Dragonfly_5599 on

      Can someone explain the „route distance“ part to me. I don’t get it.

    39. timisorean_02 on

      Is the map from 2016? The motorway in western Romania does not exist on the map.

    40. Romouch on

      Many of us want to moslty of this truck trafic to be replace by train. Maybe one day.

    41. Stunning_Macaron6133 on

      So that’s how all those fat pasty Brits get smuggled into Spain.

    42. Craicriture on

      A lot of Irish-Continental truck traffic does not go that route btw. Since Brexit there’s a huge uptick in unaccompanied freight i.e. trailer only. You see way fewer European trucks here these days. There used to be plenty of them on the roads. Instead these days you’ll see say a Dutch or Spanish trailer, with an Irish tractor unit hauling it and both sets of regs.

      I’m surprised about the AP7/AP2 in Spain. It feels more crowded the first one.
