This is going to be one of the best videos of the channel. Long, rich explanation and study of the most important freeway in Spain
Gracias por el comentario!
Excellent video!
Thank you!
Classic Spanish road numbering gore with the non-tolled toll road AP road number
It got even weirder when concessions expired.
Great drive and the chat! You mentioned toll motorways has fewer exits/entrance ramp than autovía in Spain at 9:23. What do you think if I tell you that the toll expressways in Japan, Philippines, Thailand, South Korea, and China has more exit/entrance ramp than autopista counterpart in Spain?
This is explained by the higher population density of east Asia.
If the Spanish traffic pattern makes a large toll plaza unviable, what kind of traffic pattern makes this a good option?
I may have wrongly explained myself -my point was that toll roads in Spain are seldom profitable as traffic is usually lower than in countries with large-scale toll road networks such as Italy, France or the northeastern US.
I don't know how the issue is in other countries but in Spain there is an extensive network of autovias (free highways) alternatives to toll highways that have a similar route. Toll highways are ruinous unless they have no better alternative. The AP7 was a toll highway until a few years ago, now that it is free, its traffic has increased enormously.
Already spotted a mistake -the map at 26:15 should not be there. Feel free to point out other goofs as such a long, thorough video may contain more than one!
