German, Dutch and Belgian roads...a short report

You may be past caring what I think of the road networks wherever we have been, but one day you might just need such information. So here you go in a relatively concise update.

German roads:

1. Fast autobahns.....if you have the right tool.

2. Smooth roads, although not quite French smooth.

3. Signage was not quite the top level of signage, I still believe Britain to hold that honor, but I can report fresh facedly on that when we return.

4. Polite drivers.

Dutch roads:

1. Manic drivers on the big roads cutting across and being a bit leery.

2. A chaotic tangle of motorways. I think the highways planning agency were eating spaghetti and found their inspiration from the plate.

3. Moving from one piece of spaghetti to another is easy as long as you know which piece of parallel spaghetti you want!

4. Roads as smooth as a clog! How's that for a simile?

5. Flat, more flat, a gentle rise, then flat, a gentle dip, then flat.....and repeat.

6. Wide open spaces on roads away from the towns and cities.

Belgian roads:

Please note, limited experience.

1. Rough!

2. Aaaaarrrrrgghhhhhh traffic lights, what do you mean?

3. Stop start stop start, who puts traffic lights on a speedy dual carriageway?

Of course, I could be wrong, and driving Hugo on these roads is never going to bring the best out of a road. It's not exactly a cosseted smooth and silent experience in here, but Belgium, come on! It could all be a preemptive ploy to ween you off the lovely European roads and get you ready for the M2 nightmare. 

Britains roads next. On the left I believe and anti-clockwise on roundabouts?
