M-Series

Types of Roads
The national road network of Escadia consists of motorways (M-series), trunk roads (A-series), primary and local roads.

Motorways


The M-Series is the federal controlled-access highway system in Escadia. It's the countries primary inter-city/inter-state transit artery for automobile traffic. Only federally built controlled-access highways with certain construction standards including at least three lanes per direction are part of the M-Series. They have their own, white-on-blue signs and numbering system. The numbering series starts at 100 and increases as the north-south motorways are generally numbered using odd numbers. Similarly, the east-west routes are numbered using even numbers. The speed limit is set to 120 kilometres per hour (75 mph) throughout the network.

Trunk Roads
The A-series (4 lane) trunk network inter-connects large and medium sized cities. These are typically double-lane roads with the same quality as motorways and and have grade-separated junctions.
