About: Autovía

An Entity of Type: mean of transportation, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

An autovía is one of two classes of major highway in the Spanish road system similar to a British motorway or an American freeway. It is akin to the autopista, the other major highway class, but has fewer features and is never a toll road. Some distinguishing features of an autovía are that it must be divided by a median, it must have restricted access, and it cannot be crossed by other roads. While autopistas are generally new routes, autovías are normally improvements to existing roads, so they may have tighter curves and less safe accesses, often with shorter acceleration lanes. However, both have nominal speed limits of 120 kilometres per hour (75 mph). Rest areas are usually 300 kilometres (190 mi) or 2 hours apart. There is usually a safety lane along the median.

  • An autovía is one of two classes of major highway in the Spanish road system similar to a British motorway or an American freeway. It is akin to the autopista, the other major highway class, but has fewer features and is never a toll road. Some distinguishing features of an autovía are that it must be divided by a median, it must have restricted access, and it cannot be crossed by other roads. While autopistas are generally new routes, autovías are normally improvements to existing roads, so they may have tighter curves and less safe accesses, often with shorter acceleration lanes. However, both have nominal speed limits of 120 kilometres per hour (75 mph). Rest areas are usually 300 kilometres (190 mi) or 2 hours apart. There is usually a safety lane along the median. Although generally state-owned and financed, there are some autovías which are actually built and maintained by private companies, such as Pamplona-Logroño A-12. The company assumes the building costs and the Autonomous Community where they are located (in the given example, Navarre) pays a yearly per-vehicle fee to the company based upon usage statistics. This fee is called a shadow toll (Spanish: peaje en la sombra). The system can be regarded as a way for the Government to finance the construction of new roads without any initial outlay of money. Also, since payment starts after the road is finished, there are fewer construction delays in comparison with regular state-owned construction. (en)
  • Une autovía est une voie de circulation similaire à l'autoroute en Espagne mais à usage gratuit (contrairement à l'autopista). C'est l'appellation type de la voie rapide sur le réseau routier espagnol. Le préfixe utilisé est en principe la lettre « A » quand elle est à usage national ou régional mais cela peut être une autre lettre quand l'usage est plus local comme Z-40 pour le contournement de Saragosse.

  • Een autovía is een van de twee soorten snelwegen in het Spaanse wegenstelsel, vergelijkbaar met een autosnelweg en autoweg in Nederland of met een expresweg in verschillende andere landen. Het grootste verschil met het andere type snelweg, de autopista, is dat een autovía minder faciliteiten biedt en er geen tol betaald hoeft te worden. Een autovía is meestal aangelegd over een bestaande weg, waardoor de wegen over veel heuvels lopen, ze scherpere bochten maken en de bereikbaarheid minder goed kan zijn. Ondanks dit alles is de maximumsnelheid op zowel een autovía als autopista hetzelfde: 120 km/uur. Verzorgingsplaatsen zijn er in mindere mate, meestal om de 100 tot 300 kilometer, en een vluchtstrook is vrijwel altijd aanwezig. (nl)
