In Belgium , the motorways (Dutch : autosnelwegen; French : autoroutes; German : Autobahnen) are indicated by an A and an E (for European) number. [1] The E numbers are used most often. Roads that are (part of) a ring road around a town or city are mostly indicated by an R number. [2]
Since 1989, all highways are built and maintained by the governments of the three regions (Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels). [3]
