Motorways in Dryicor

The national motorway system of Dryicor was set up in 1956 with the completion of the first leg of the V1 motorway, between Honganiemi and Voilehdo.

Dryicor has an unusual case of having two top-class motorway designations. These are the


 * Valtiotiet: (national roads) This is a system of motorways across Dryicor. These take a red designation on road signs. They also transpose to the pan-European E road network which is signposted in Dryicor.
 * Funikulaarit: (funiculars) This is the famous funicular system, started in 1982 to connect motorways to the highest-altitude settlements such as Kiojafell and Garkule. These are covered in a separate article as while station entrances and exits meet motorway regulations much of the journey is made by cable tram.

Definition of a motorway
The valtiotie in Dryicor was constructed in the vein of the German autobahn system. As such, until 2003 there was no speed limit, and there are no tolls on Dryicoran motorways.

As with most countries, Dryicoran motorway rules stipulate that on a motorway:


 * Pedestrians cannot walk in the road, only on the hard shoulder.
 * There will always be at least three lanes in each direction.
 * There will be no same-level crossings with a footpath, road (including other motorways), railway or funicular line.
 * Vehicles cannot make U-turns.
 * Vehicles cannot stop or park without good reason.

Unlike in most countries, not all the motorway system has a parallel road for vehicles which do not have the speed capacity to use it. However, most do, and the public transport system is nonetheless sufficient.

Until 2003, there was no speed limit on the motorway, with a recommended speed of 130 km/h (80 mph) and a minimum speed of 70 km/h (43,5 mph). Since 2003, the maximum speed limit has been 150 km/h (93,2 mph).
