Extra Eastern European E-roads Envisioning

After the eventual defeat of Russkies, trade with Ukraine will incease dramatically, and traffic volume along with it. This will make a good opportunity to delineate new international corridors, represented by E-routes.

Also Russia will receive shiny new roads built by China so that they can sift away all sorts of resources more effectively.

E93 and E103 - Slava Ukraini (i Belarosii?)

E95 was renamed to E105 and E93 was renamed to E95, leaving E93 unassigned. It should therefore go westward of E95 so that it evades Russia which is basically Mordor now for all economic purposes.

E93: Kotka (E85) ... Kunda - Tartu - Otepää - Rēzekne - Daugavpils - Pastavy - Minsk - Salihorsk - Mazyr - (along western side of Chernobyl Exclusion Zone) - Zhytomyr - Vinnycya - Rîbniţa - Dubasări - Chişinau - Komrat - Vulcăneşti - Galaţi - Brăila - Baia - Constanţa ... İstanbul - Gebze - Bursa - Kütabyatr - Afyonkarahisar - Antalya - Fethiye ... Rhodos - Lindos - Markheria (E100)

It crosses Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Belarus, Ukraine, Transnistria, Moldavia, Romania, Turkey and Greece. Most important part is from Estonia to Romania. It has to cross Belarus, hopefully Lukasheko realizes he can at least collect toll money and let people and goods pass. Transnistria is also quite risky, but once both Moldova and Ukraine get into EU, Transnistria will be forced to calm down by the new EU military. Continuation in Finland should be an extended E85 instead.

E103: Leningrad (E105) - Novgorod - Porkhov - Velikie Luki - Smolensk - Brjansk - Hlukhiv - Konotop - Lubny - Cherkasy - Kirovograd - Mykolayiv (E58) - Kherson (E97)

Can go through Poltava, but that would make it overlap with E584. Contains more recently made historic cities.

E109 and E111 - Donbas, dumbass

The roads E105 and E115 are too close to each other. Looking at the map of early 20th century Ukraine, there is some territory to claim north of Donbas and south all the way to Abkhasia, cutting Russia's access to Black Sea.

E107: Medvezhyegorsk - Pyal'ma - Pudozh - Vytegra - Lipin Bor - Cherepovets - Pestovo - Bezhetsk - Dubna - Moscow

E109: Mcensk (E105) - Livny - Gorshechnoe - Chernyanka - Valuyki - Kupyansk - Izyum - Kramatorsk - Donetsk - Mariupol' - Berdyansk - Melitopol (E105)

E111: Voronezh (E115) - Alexeevka - Novopskov - Severodonetsk - Luhansk - Amvrosiivka - Taganrog - Rostov na Donu (E115)

E02 and E00 - Santa Claus and Grandfather Frost (Дед Мороз)

Somehow, E02 and E00 are unassigned. According to the system, they should be the northernmost East-West routes, however that is E06 and E69 due to historical reasons.

E02: Fauske (E06) - Arjeplog - Arvidsjaur - Gällivare - Kiruna - Karesuando - Ivalo - Murmansk - Sosnovka ... Ruch'i - Mezen' - Naryan Mar - Vorkuta - Salekhard - Nadym - Novyy Ugrenoy - Ugrenoy - Igarka - Khatanga - Novorybnoe - Yuryung-Khaya - Saskykalhskiy - Tiksi - Deputatskiy - Srednekolymsk - Omolon - Kamenskoe - Ivashka - Ust'-Kamchatsk - Kozyervsk - Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy

It crosses Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. I have decided to extend it to Kamchatka, since it isn't exactly the northernmost anyway. Kuril islands should belong to Japan, so no E-road there. There may not even be an actual road up there, but the supposed roads in Russia don't have much common with roads anyway. Where's your God now, statists, when the state doesn't even build the roads and smugglers have to do it instead? China to the rescue with economic colonization of Russia via the Belt and Road Initiative.

(Someone briefly vandalized Wikipedia with this route: Harstad – Ballangen – Storuman – Haparanda – Oulu – Jyväskylä – Mikkeli – Lappeenranta – St.Petersburg – Vologda – Yaroslavl – Vladimir – Ryazan – Tambov – Volgodonsk – Stavropol – Kutaisi – Kars – Ağrı – Özalp – Esendere) 

E00: Upernavik - Nuuk - Aappilattoq - Tasiilaq ... Bolungarvík - Svalbarðsheppur ... Jan Mayen ... Longyearbyen ... Franz Josef Land ... Severnaya Zemlya ... (uninhabited mainland cape) - Dikson (E02)

Mostly an icebreaker ferry itinerary. However the climate is a-changing, so not long before regular ships can pass. Alternatively could be given to Iceland road 1. Novaya Zemlya should be served by E121.

Extensions of existing roads

North-South

E85: Kajaani (E63) - Joensuu - Lappeenranta - Kotka ... Kunda - Paide - Viljandi - Valga - Riga - Klaipeda - ~~~

Very zig-zag, could replace or run simultaneously with E67 from Kaunas to Tallin, but that would need removing signposts from Kaunas to Klaipeda. Could take a detour via Tartu and replace most of E263 and E264. The Finland section could be marked E93 if the extended E85 seems hapzard.

E87: ~~~ - Antalya - Anamur - Adana (E90)

E91: Samsun - Amasya - Sivas - Darende - Toprakkale - ~~~

E95: Murmansk (E105) - Kovdor - Alakurtti - Kalevala - Kostomuksha - Ledmozero - Porosozero - Suoyarvi - Sortavala - Kuznechnoe - Leningrad - ~~~ - Merzifon - Yozgat - Aksaray - Antalya (E93)

Karelian highway, intended to be on the other side of the border from extended E85 or E93.

E101: ~~~ - Kyiv - Cherkasy - Kirovohrad - Kryvyy Rih - Nova Kakhovka - Krasnoperekopsk (E97) - Simferopol (E105) - Sevastopol

The section from Kyiv to Moscow will be useless, unless for a military campaign to Moscow so that Zelensky can personally talk to Puta Madre (or Putamás) with some very heavy arguments. The Crimean or Kerch bridge on E97 was blown up and repaired multiple times.

E105: ~~~ - Yalta ... Ordu - Suşehri - Sivas - Kayseri - Adana - Silfke ... Rizokarpaso (E100)

E113: Kem (E105) - Belomorsk - Nyukhcha - Maloshuyka - Onega - Kodina - Obozersky - Plesetsk - Shalakusha - Nyandoma - Konosha - Vozhega - Kharovsk - Vologda (E115) - Rybinsk - Kalyazin - Sergiyev Posad (E115)

E115: Mezen - Archangelsk - Bereznik - Velsk - Vologda - Yaroslavl - ~~~

This is supposed to link the port of Archangelsk and Severodvinsk to an abruptly ended E115 in Jaroslavl. This and following are extensions in Russia, so the (paved) road link may be missing, but could be built by Chinese economic colonists as a part of Belt and Road Initiative.

E121: (Nova Zemlya) - Amderma - Naryan Mar (E02) - Ust'-Tsil'ma - Mokhcha - Ukhta - Yemva - Syktyvar - Kirov - Kazan - Samara - ~~~

This road has a village of Fetisovo as one of it's control points, which sounds like it would definitely be a nice place for a fetish club. Not exactly a thing promoting "traditional relationships" (where a man gets drunk and beats a woman nonconsensually) or whatever laws they have in Kazakhstan, but neither are all the brothels along E55.

E123: Drovyanoy - Ust'-Yuribey - Shchuch'ye - Salekhard (E02) - Muzhi - Beryozovo - Polnovat - Priobye - Nagan - Sovetsky - Yugorsk - Serov - Kachkanar - Nizhnyy Tagil - Yetaterinburg - Chelyabinsk - ~~~

E125: Matyuysale - Gyda - Antipayuta - Tazovskiy - Novyy Urengoy - Gubkinskyy - Muravyenko - Surgut - Khanty Mansiysk - Tobolsk - Ishim - ~~~

E127: Dikson - Norilsk - Igarka - Tol'ka - Nizhnevarkovsk - Omsk - ~~~

Dikson is another brothel-worthy place name.

East-West

E10: ~~~ - Luleå - Tornio - Rovaniemi - Kuusamo - Kalevala - Belomorsk - Onega - Archangelsk - Mezen - Medvezhka - Usinsk - Muzhi - Gubinskiy - Tol'ka - Tutonchany - Tura - Ekonda - Aykhal - Udachnyy - Eyik - Zhigansk - Verkhoyansk - Deputatsky - Russkoye Ustye - Cherskyy - Keperveyem - Leningradsky - Uelen (E129)

E18: somewhere betwenn E10 and E20 as needed

E20: Leningrad - middle of nowhere until Magadan - Yevensk - Kamenskoe

E22: basically Transsiberian Railway, northern branch, then maybe Sakhalin (if not annexed by Japan)

E30: basically Transsiberian Railway, southern branch

E40: ~~~ - Ust'-Koksa - Aktash - Chadan - Kyzyl - Orlik - Baykalsk - Kyakhta - Khilok - Aginskoe - Borzya - Zabaykalsk

Maybe through Mongolia instead.

E50: ~~~ - Makhachkala ... Fetisovo - Karamola - Chagyl - Derweze - Kerpichli - Buchara - Shakhrizabz - Ayni - Batken - Osh - Naryn - Karakol - Kegen - Zharkent - Horgos - (Ürümqi)

Kegen and Kokpek seem to have been swapped in the 2007 chart. There so much space between E30 an E40 in Kazakhstan for some reason. I had to squeeze the E50 between E40 and E60. Also Fetisovo sounds like a good place for a fetish club.

E129 - Siberian diagonal or Bering to Caspian

This route is very crazy and the roads linking mentioned villages probably don't exist. But for the easternmost E-route it is sure enough.

It's possible that E134 and E136 will be renamed to E2xx, so that all E1xx numbers will be free. E13x to E14x could be used to add more Siberian roads. E15x to E19x could then be used for E0xx routes instead to decrease potential for confusion between E01 and E001, not to mention there's also an E1, which is an E-path for hiking. Alternatively just use 4 digits, like E1001, and incorporate every dirt road in Central Asia and Siberia up to E9999.

E129: Uelen (E10) - Anadyr - Kamenskoe - Omolon - Glukharnyy - Zyryanka - Ust-Nera - Yakutsk - Nyurba - Mirnyy - Ust'-Ilimsk - Bratsk - Krasnoyarsk - Achinsk - Tomsk - Novosibirsk - Barnaul - Semey - Balkhash - Kyzylorda - Dasshaus - Turkmenbashi (E60)

E100 - Panmediterranean oddysey

There is E98, E99, E101, but not E100. This could be a North African coastal road including Ceuta, Meilla, Carthage and maybe Jerusalem, but Trans-African Highway 1 runs very near and putting a European road on Africa would be perceived as an act of colonization. Therefore I propose a Mediterranean ferry intinerary, which is more fun. The ferries don't even have to be operational, but it can be a proposal for subsidizing. Undersea tunnels would be more convenient, though.

E100: Santa Cruz das Flores ... Ponta Delgada ... Funchal ... Santa Cruz de Tenerife ... Las Palmas de Gran Canaria ... Giblartar ... Ceuta ... Peňón de Vélez de la Gomera ... Melilla ... Ibiza ... Palma ... Ciutadella de Menorca ... Carbonia - Caligari - Costa Rei ... Pantelleria ... Marsala - Agrigento - Pacino ... Iż-Żebuġ ... Valletta ... ... Zakynthos ... Kalamata ... Kithira ... Skariana ... Paleokhora - Khora Sfakion - Plakais - Moires - Ierapetra ... Karpathos ... Markheria (E93) ... Pafos - Lemesos - Lefkosia - Rizokarpaso ... Samandağ - Antiokheia (E91) - (Aleppo - Rakkah - Hasaka - Kamishli - Cizre (E90))

From the Azores all the way to Cyprus. There may be issue with Northern Cyprus, but it's basically Turkey.

E102 and beyond southward - GEKOLONISEERD

Whilst odd numbers above E99 are used, there are no roads with even numbers above 98 and under E134. E100 has been proposed above. There are also very integral European territories further south, so much that the currency is Euro and European elections happen.

E102: Road Town ... The Settlement ... Anguilla ... Marigot - Phillipsburg ... Zions Hill ... Oranjestad ... Basseterre ... Codrington ... Saint John's ... Little Bay ... Baie Mahault ... Kanton Saint Louis ... Terre-de-Haut ... Portsmouth - Roseau ... Fort-de-France ... Gros Islet - Vieux Fort ... Bridgetown ... Kingstown ... Port Elizabeth ... Saint George's ... Scarborough ... Port of Spain ... Saint-Laurent - Cayenne ... São Filipe ... Praia ... Sal Rel ... San Antonio de Palé ... São Tomé ... Santo António

The most important territories of this road are British Virgin Isles, Sint Marteen, and French Guyana. Further roads are not included in the KMZ file.

E104: Seychelles ... British Indoocean Territory ... Coconut Island ... Christmas Island

British colonial Indian Sea corridor.

E106: Réunion ... Mauritius ... French South and Antarctic Territory

French colonial Indian Sea corridor.

E108: Falklands ... South Georgia and Sandwich Islands ... Bouvetøya ... French South and Antarctic Territory ... Heard and McDonald Isles

Having an E-road on Falklands is especially important to annoy Argentinians.

E110: Antarctic coast (especially in areas claimed by European countries)

Saint Helens and Ascension are in the middle of nowhere. E112, E114, E116, and E118 are reserved for Antarctic roads. E122, E124, E126 and E128 are reserved for Pacific Ocean island chains I won't waste time researching. It's a whole hemisphere of water in there, you can sail freely in any direction. E120 is reserved for in case Kuril islands are given to a European country.

Nah, give even numbers E110..E128 to post-Asad Syria, extend suitable odd numbers from Turkey and E100 from Cyprus.

Regarding the historical numbering, I would introduce brown signs with white text in the the form of EH1 ~ EH103. These shouldn't run on motorways, as they mostly didn't exist back then, and to not duplicate the modern green network needlessly. Sort of like Historic Route 66 in the USA. These are better for those crappy 125cm^3 motorscooters rideable with a car license, which are motorway legal only de iure. Riding a 125cc on a motorroad is just like riding a legal e-bike on a stroad.

EuroVelo - for when them pigs suspend yer loicense

Motorways are fine because they keep cars and trucks away from actually interesting roads that are not built for heavy traffic. But I don't like driving cars, I'm much more of a bike person. Especially when there's an electric motor attached to it. There's a network of long distance bike roads called EuroVelo, density of which is very lacking in Eastern Europe, despite having a very bike-friendly mostly flat terrain. Bad road quality is not a concern, mountain bikes are a thing. So I propose some. These ideas are included in the KMZ.

EV2: ~~~ - Moscow - Nizhniy Novgorod - Kazan - Izhevsk - Perm - Yekaterinburg - Tyumen - Omsk - Novosibirsk - Krasnoyarsk - Irkutsk

Transsiberian Railway until Baikal, which is simply a gorgeous lake worthy of a ring road, but is by no means in Europe.

EV4: ~~~ - Kyiv - Dnipro - Izyum - Kamensk-Shakhtinskyy - Stalingrad - Astrakhan - Atyrau - Beyneu - Aralsk - Baikonur - Kyzylorda - Khantau - Burubaimal

All the way to Lake Balkhash, briefly touching Aral Sea. Kazakhstan, very nice. Could go a more direct route to Balkash via Zhezqazghan, but that seems too boring and hilly compared to Syrdarya and Chu rivers. Also can't miss Baikonur. Already goes south of Chernobyl.

EV16: Black Sea Ring Road Iberian Cycle Route

Technically the Turkey and Georgia section is not in Europe, but these countries are long time EU aspirants.

In September 2023 EV 16 was announced to be a somewhat short route from Lisboa to Pamplona. So much for the "geographically balanced network" and "fills a gap". Eastern Europe is not a nuclear fallout dilapidated war zone full of corruption or what those Westerners think. It's just a little bit poor from all that socialism. Also the Europen plain is perfect for cycle routes, all the way from Moscow to Hague, why Iberian mountains?

EV18: Corsica ... Sardinia ... Sicily ... Peloponesos ... Crete ... Rhodos ... Turkish Riviera (Oddysey Route) Black Sea Ring Road

Very heavy on ferries, but as with E100, putting it on the African coast would be colonialism, not to mention riding in the Sahara desert is by no means fun. The entire landscape looks like a waving Ukrainian flag.

Provisionally move Black Sea Ring Road here.

EV20: Aegean Sea Ring Road (EV10 is North Sea) (or entire Mediterranean)

Complement to EV10 and accompaniement to EV18, itself related to EV8.

EV21: Riga - Vilnius - Minsk - Kyiv - Chişinau - Bucarest - Sofia - Thessaloniki (Far Eastern European Capitals Route)

Passes through Chernobyl, which should make it very attractive. Also could pass through Hostomel and Bucha, soon to be memorial sites with sunflower fields all around. Also passes through Belarus, therefore may need to make a detour like EV23. Transnistria may not be exactly safe too, but that is expected to be dealt with once both Moldova and Ukraine are in the EU, maybe even NATO.

EV22: Caspian Sea Ring Road (EV12 is Baltic Sea)

Only partially in Europe

EV23: New Iron Curtain Trail (or Schengen border trail)

Along the border of Russia in the best case. In the worst case, detour Belarus and cut short via Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhya, and Mykolayiv. Alternatively could just represent the Schengen area border for ease of travelling. Relates to EV13.

EV24: Iceland Ring Road (24 hours of sunlight and moonlight)

Actually, the entire island is just below the Arctic circle with the nothernmost tip at 66°32'17" N. The polar circle can pass through it if and only if the Earth's axial tilt is at least 23°27'43" and at most 26°35'20". As of 2022-05-24, the Earth's axis tilt is only 23°26'11", so the polar circles are at 66°33'50". Grímsey island nothern tip is at 66°33'59" N (23°26'01" tilt needed), though, and you can stretch the sunlight with civil and maybe nautical twilight.

EV25: Murmansk - Leningrad - Moscow - Stalingrad - Sochi (Operation Barbarossa Frontline Route)

Famous WW2 line, EV23 if there turns out to be no New Iron Curtain after all. EV25 would then be West Ural trail and EV27 would run on ridges.

EV26: Karelian Lakes Ring Road

Was considering it for Aral Sea Ring Road, but that would be a very boring and potentially dangerous ride.

EV27: West Ural Mountain Foot Trail

Geological border of Europe. If ferry, then Novozemlyofjörður. Would prefer it on the mountain range foot because for every downhill ride there has to be an annonying uphill climb.

EV28: Lake Balkhash Ring Road

Much better than Aral Sea, even if it's by no means in Europe. But some E-roads are not in Europe either, so what gives. May be a wraparound of EV4, if no EV29 because no EV23 and no ridge trail.

EV29: East Ural Mountail Tral

On the opposite side. Briefly touches the Aral Sea or whatever remains of it.

EV30: Baikal Ring Road

Not in Europe, but too nice to not have a ring road. May be a wraparound of EV2.
