In 2023, Poland led with the most extensive road network outside built-up areas at 364.34 thousand km. The United Kingdom and Sweden followed with 261.96 and 153.92 thousand km, respectively. Variations from the previous year saw minor increases in Poland, Hungary, Finland, and Estonia, signaling moderate infrastructure growth. Conversely, countries such as Latvia, Slovenia, and Bulgaria showed reductions with Slovenia witnessing the most notable decline.
Future trends indicate a potential shift towards improved road maintenance and infrastructure upgrades across Europe. Increased investments in sustainable transport solutions and the integration of technology to enhance road systems will likely shape the region's transportation landscape. Monitoring these developments will be crucial for understanding regional and country-specific growth dynamics.
