N93 (Netherlands)

Last updated December 01, 2021

National Road 93 (Dutch : Nationale weg 93) or simply N93, was a highway route in the Netherlands from 1957 through 1985. It formed part of the Dutch National highway network and connected Tilburg (E312) with Emmeloord (N91). A stretch of road between Tilburg and the Belgian border was also part of the initial route.^[1]

In 1957, road numbering was introduced in the Netherlands and the Rijkswegenplan foresaw in an increasing number of highways, together forming a nationwide system. Along with the pan-European E-road network, which designated routes of international importance, a series of N-roads was devised to designate those routes not included in the European system, but considered of national importance.^[2]
In 1985 the second generation of E-road numbering was implemented, leading to an update of the National Road network as well. With the N91 now heading south to Almere and Utrecht, the N93 was extended northwards. The section leading to the border with Belgium was abandoned and subsequently downgraded.

While the N-road numbers were originally signposted everywhere, they were gradually replaced on road signs by the formerly administrative Rijksweg and provincial numberings, starting in 1976 and 1978 respectively. Ultimately the old N93 was broken up into five sections that now carry different numbers.

The total length of the N 93 is approximately 180 kilometers (190 when the shared sections with E 25 and E 35 are included). The majority of the route consisted of motorway, with the main interruption being the section through Nijmegen which caused significant delays. A new bridge is under construction west of the city, aimed at creating a new urban beltway. No official decision has been made public about its new road number so far.^[4]

The United States Numbered Highway System is an integrated network of roads and highways numbered within a nationwide grid in the contiguous United States. As the designation and numbering of these highways were coordinated among the states, they are sometimes called Federal Highways, but the roadways were built and have always been maintained by state or local governments since their initial designation in 1926.

Highway 95 is a north-south highway in the southeastern corner of British Columbia, opened in 1957. The highway connects with U.S. Route 95, from which the highway takes its number, at the Canada–U.S. border at Kingsgate, just north of Eastport, Idaho. The section between the Canada-U.S. border and the Crowsnest Highway is known as the Yahk–Kingsgate Highway while the section between the Crowsnest Highway and Golden is known as the Kootenay–Columbia Highway.

A routenumber, designation or abbreviation is an identifying numeric designation assigned by a highway authority to a particular stretch of roadway to distinguish it from other routes and, in many cases, also to indicate its classification, general geographical location and/or orientation. The numbers chosen may be used solely for internal administrative purposes; however, in most cases they are also displayed on roadside signage and indicated on maps.

National routes in South Africa are a class of trunk roads and freeways which connect major cities. They form the highest category in the South African route numbering scheme, and are designated with route numbers beginning with "N", from N1 to N18. Most segments of the national route network are officially proclaimed National Roads that are maintained by the South African National Roads Agency (SANRAL), but some segments are maintained by provincial or local road authorities.

Rijksstraatweg or simply Straatweg was the term for paved roads of interregional significance in the Netherlands in the 19th and early 20th centuries. These roads were built by the national government, and formed the country's first centrally planned highway network. They received route numbers, eventually resulting in a nationwide network of 82 highways. It formed the basis for today's system of nationally controlled roads, the Netherlands' main highway grid.

With 139,000 km of public roads, the Netherlands has one of the most dense road networks in the world – much denser than Germany and France, but still not as dense as Belgium. Dutch roads include at least 3,530 km of motorways and expressways, and with a motorway density of 64 kilometres per 1,000 km², the country also has one of the densest motorway networks in the world.

The Philippine highway network refers to the highway system of the Philippines. It is a network of national roads owned and maintained by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) which are organized into three classifications depending on their function or purpose they serve within the highway system: national primary, secondary, and tertiary roads. The national roads connecting major cities are numbered from N1 to N82. They are mostly single and dual carriageways linking two or more cities.

The numbered-node cycle network is a wayfinding system. It spans the Netherlands, Belgium, parts of Germany, and parts of Croatia, and is expanding rapidly, as of 2017. Each intersection or node is given a number, and the numbers are signposted, so the cyclist always knows which way to go to get to the next node.
