The country’s road network is presented in detail, graded according to width. Motorways indicate toll sections, with junctions showing full or limited interchanges. Driving distances are shown on many local routes and the maps also indicate steep gradients, height restrictions, bridge load limits, restricted or prohibited entry routes, speed cameras, etc. Dangerous or difficult sections are highlighted, as are scenic routes and viewpoints. The maps also show the country’s railway network with stations and ferry routes to the islands.
