Why is European infrastructure so god-tier?
because of population density I guess
Partially because their countries are smaller and easier to maintain, partially because they spend actual money on it because they don't think that any kind of public spending is commie trickery on par with the Holodomor.
What is infrastructure?

The Autobahn is so fucking overrated. Nothing but roadworks, shitty asphalt and constantly changing speed limits.
Because they have a 1st world tax rate
>>59835994
The small country thing would make sense if your country's population wasn't concentrated in a small strip near the US border.
you give too much credit to Belgians
>>59838057
I never understood why Belgian highways where in such poor state.
>>59837974
tbf that "small strip" is still quite big.
>>59837974
Even with that small strip it's still a large area to be covered and paid by only 20 million people.
>>59837974
that small strip is still bigger than every European country.
Because of Diversity
>>59837974
why it's unhabitable up north?
>>59838183
Not really. The first strip ranging from Detroit to the coastal border area of New Brunswick is about the same length as Sweden or ~1500km. North America might be big, but don't overestimate it.
>>59835994
>>59838163
>>59838183
don't act like you don't have departments, states and provinces and such. ''Eurpean infrastructure'' isn't just one thing built by the EU parlement. Every country builds their own stuff, some good (see us) some bad (see Belguim), and it's all linked up. thinking (and building) on a small scail is far better than just saying ''we're too big''. Also density helps obviously
>>59838610
Yeah, why would anyone want to get to Edmonton or Vancouver? They can just go through America right?
>>59838057
They are a North African country, you racist shitlord

THIS
>>59838286
It isn't, people do live up there mostly on native reserves or mining/logging/oil operations. There just isn't much to attract people there. No resources, no industry, infertile soil etc. There is just no reason to go up there.

t. Literally my whole country is either toll roads or falling apart
You can't talk friend :^)
>>59838440
That strip between Detroit and the coast is only about a third of the way m8. Not to mention that our population is extremely concentrated. There are stretches of highway in Canada that are literally hundreds of kilometres long and have no human presence whatsoever. Plus our shit weather means we are constantly repairing roads that the winter kills, we don't have the time, manpower, or resources to worry about lonely stretches of highway in buttfuck nowhere when the roads in cities need the same attention.

>>59838999
Nice digits. I dunno anon. The post you were agreeing with was right btw, but France has some shitty roads by European standards 2bh, so just thought I should knock you down a peg.
>>59835933
So the refugees can arrive more efficiently
>>59837642
Uhh not in Oberbayern.
>>59839094
Everytime i go to Belgium I feel better about our roads.
It can vary a lot between regions too.
>>59838941
I only care for densely populated areas that is why I divided the strip into 3 parts. The one between Detroit and New Brunswick being the first and most important one.
>>59839358
Except that isn't all we have to worry about m8, those roads and railroads between population centres are essential. That's how we ship goods around, we need to get wheat and oil from Alberta to the coasts, lumber from BC and Ontario down to the U.S., uranium, nickel and diamonds down from the far north and too the coasts and US, those roads are lifeblood of our economy.
>>59839458
The question at hand here is not functional infrastructure, it's nice infrastructure. We have a lot of shoddy roads and hundreds of kilometers of railroad that the lumbering and mining industries use.
>>59839251
Road infrastructure is literally the only thing where France is ahead of us.

>>59838057
>>59838121
Most likely because of how many fucking French, German, Dutch, Luxo, and a lot more trucks from everywhere in Europe drive on our highways.
>>59838121
Belgian roads are pretty much a long pothole with occasionnal spots of asphalt here and there
>>59840219
Actually, our highways have rencently been refurbished totally. The meme is kinda over now, just get in your car and see for yourelf. I would not be surpised Belgium has now a better road infrastructure than France. Also, like I said >>59839943
and >>59839790
>>59839912
isn't this the case for capitals in most countries?
>>59835933
Because every few decades they blow themselves to hell and the US rebuilds them from scratch.

>>59835994
>they don't think that any kind of public spending is commie trickery on par with the Holodomor.
Didn't make a difference for us. In fact, the result was the opposite.
>>59839094
That's quite surprising, I've mostly heard foreigners praising the quality of french highways.
What they were unhappy with was mostly the insane amount of roundabouts on secondary roads.
>>59835933
For western europe - high tax and a lot of people living in a relatively small area.
>>59839094
>but France has some shitty roads by European standards 2bh
Nah the highways are very good, the rest depends which department you're in
>>59839744
Why >>59837974 don't >>59838440 you >>59839358 just >>59839744 admit that you've been a stupid twerp for this entire thread?
Your first comment doesn't even make sense. Once every 10-20 years or whatever it is, their bumfuck roads need attention too. Then like five other people jump in and correctly tell you that "uh dude that strip is objectively quite large", which you then objectively incorrectly shrug off with a "nuh-uh".
Excluding Russia, Kazakhstan and Turkey (none of which count), all that yellow-red shit put together is clearly bigger than the next biggest contender, Ukraine (a bit easier to eclipse now, admittedly :^) Add it all up and it's not quite as big as Ontario itself, which is much bigger than Ukraine. The above poster, who is not me, is literally right.
Then you veer towards telling the Canadian about his own country (again), he hands you your ass (again), and you keep going on "n-nuh uh no one ever uses rural roads ever, ever I'm Right". Brain-dead stupid, you are.
>>59837974
It has nothing to do with the US border dumbass. The most valuable land after the plantation era was the land between the great lakes and the st. lawrence river. There is nothing comparable on earth and only the african great lakes come remotely close.
the french have been in that area almost 300 years before the first american settlers REEE REEE REEEEEE
>>59837974
also our north has tons of concentrated cities which only show as a dot on your fucked up map. most of our land isn't arable but my grocery store in sudbury (nickel mining city) has a better selection and lower prices than when I lived in the golden horseshoe outside toronto
>>59842744
Well Canada has something like 3.5 times the population of Sweden, while having only twice as much roads in terms of length, so they can spend more per kilometre.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_road_network_size
Although their roads are probably more difficult to maintain in terms of logistics considering the country's size.

>>59842330
seconded, French roads are fine. So are Austrian and Slovenian roads.
Spanish roads are do-whatever-the-fuck-you-want seemingly-random strips of concrete or worse. One moment you're stuck behind a 50kph pensioner, the next you're overtaken by a 170kph mercedes. From what I've seen, Dutch infrastructure may be the best in Europe, but rush hour is still pretty bad. Belgium used to be scary, everything crumbling and Belgian drivers are most prone to road rage in my experience. Germany is mostly "that'll do". Low taxes on cars (car lobby) means they're struggling a bit with a lack of investment in infrastructure. Croatia has some god-tier highways and Spain-tier secondary roads.
My guess would be that Dutch drivers are careful slowpokes abroad because they're used to well maintained roads and very clear road layouts.
>>59843320
road network size isn't even the issue oddly, it's the frost heave in most secluded parts of the country that still requires unused roads to be repaired every two or three years. quebec and ontario have it particularly bad because they have most of the routes to the north and there is so much god damn fresh water everywhere.
>>59843428
>Spanish roads are do-whatever-the-fuck-you-want seemingly-random strips of concrete or worse.
Well I got a pic of the Franco-Spanish border near the Med, you're right
>>59843428
Rush hour in NL is god awful. The entire country is gridlocked for several hours.
I know what you mean about the Spanish drivers themselves, but their roads are actually pretty good, at least wherever I've been. I think a lot of this is to do with climate though --- the roads just last longer there.
>>59842062
>>59842330
The French motorways are fine, but they're all bloody toll roads, so I don't count them. Off the motorways, they aren't good though. It's a national sport over here to complain about our roads (potholes and such) but we actually have it pretty good compared to you guys.
>>59843428
This swampnigger speaks the truth. I think Dutch infrastructure was ranked 3rd in the world, behind Singapore and Hong Kong.
Still doesn't change the shitty rush hour though.
>>59843500
These kind of roads are absolutely fun though
>>59839790
That's bullshit senpai
>>59843500
We have very good roads desu
The UK's rail network is fucking trash tier.
Roads are "ok"
>>59843721
Literally a city state. Don't you Tulipfags ever stop to think that this just couldn't work in a country the sheer size of Germany, France or Britain? I don't think you realise just HOW BIG our countries are anon.
>>59843954
roads are much better than almost anywhere else on the continent, ignore these yurofag memesters. our rail network is shite tho.
>>59843925

>>59843954
Re-nationalize the trains and shit on Thatcher's grave
>>59843663
Well I've never driven abroad (except near the french/italian border) so I can't compare.
Like the other french anon wrote, it's hit and miss, but I rarely end up thinking "this road is bad".
>>59843500
The spanish side doesn't even look bad actually, just less "fresh".
>>59844013
>high speed train network
>UK
nice shoop lad.
>>59844006
>roads are much better than almost anywhere else on the continent
Well France and Spain do better but everything is a toll that costs a fortune to drive on.
Trains are fucking awful, these things from 1975 are only being replaced by 2020 with the new Hitachi trains, and they're not being retired, just shifted out to rural lines that won't be electrified (like Cornwall and shit).
>>59844037
Literally even a majority of tory voters want to see the railways renationalised.
>>59843925
>>59844040
It wasn't bad yeah, it was just older
I've never been south of Madrid so I don't know how it is in the south, I guess there must be some fucked up roads but there are some in rural France too anyway
No infrastucture, the best infrastructure, so that governemnt goons cannot walze into your backyard and throw you into the colonies.

Well that's why they are good, and also why we have so many "aires" with gas pump, parkings, restaurants, hotels sometimes
But when you know the place you learn to avoid some expensive parts of highways by taking a regular road instead that costs nothing and won't slow you that much.
>>59844130
>everything is a toll that costs a fortune to drive on
This is my main gripe. The quality of driving also drops significantly when you cross the English channel. Their A/B road equivalents are worse than ours too.

Yeah, but that still doesn't make that strip of land bigger than Europe. Pretty much the other way around since Europe is bigger than Canada
>>59845789
only if you include Russia
>>59845730
But Europe is a square, not a strip.

Canada = 9,984,670 km2
>>59845730

Also why the hell would you take Calais to mesure Europe, at least take a city in Portugal to be more accurate

I remember them to be a single traffic jam because every 5km there was another private toll system.

>>59845919

>>59837642

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with Germany. They just love to plop down a 130km/h sign for no good reason every few kilometers. The "no limits" thing is little more than a myth in practice.

The interesting thing here is that the rail network is in public hand, but the train companies not. They have to share investements into the rail network. Also, it's good for smaller train companies, if you have more than one to keep competition up, and it somehow works.
>>59845567
>or the Ontario-Michigan border
You border two absolute shitzone points though.
That border worked well enough during the General Motors and Ford era when we dumped all those nice cars on you. And vacations, paid for by well-paid union employees.

>>59846985

Same here, but it doesn't work at all

wrong.
British motorways piss all over your shitty autobahns. Also I don't remember being blown away by the quality of roads in NL despite what our toothpaste friends are memeing. (I do remember some very cool car parks tho)
>>59844013
That's super outdated. Most of our cities are connected, but I had huge problems for instance in France to get to Lyon. Most highspeed tracks go till 300km/h in Germany which is the fastest commercial one worldwide.
>>59846859
That's where all your money went.
>>59838057
obviously that road is scraped off so it could be renewed.
>>59846985
same system will be expanded to france for travellers in the near future, the current nationally owned train company "SNCF" won't have the monopoly anymore
if the syndicates don't fuck it up that is, when it got implemented for freight trains protesters laid down on the tracks to keep it from advancing
>>59838852
Worse climate IIRC and its inhabited by drunken, incestuous natives prone to violence. Does Finland have the same issues? (inb4 Sweden says yes).

You forgot already? A few years ago some street lights were blown over because they were corroded and caused some accidents. It turned out literally thousands of the lights were full of water (!) because they were badly, if at all, sealed off at the top. Apparently noone ever thought of checking up on these things (lelgium). I can't find any pictures, but I remember driving for tens of kilometers and every street light was crudely cut off at about half a meter above the ground, the open top sealed with a cheap plastic trash bag and some tape. It's probably the most stereotypical metafore for Belgian infrastructure.

Of course it is less maintenance underground, since your domain is underground, satan.

Lack of corruption.
>>59848961
Cost. Our grid was made at a time where it was cheap to do it this way, now, to replace it underground would cost too much. It is easier to replace and cheap vs. going underground and replacing, though I am sure in Europe you guys have your wires in a passage or tunnel for easy repairs. Anyway, in New York and high density areas, the wires are underground. Like my downtown, you will not see any wires in the city proper. There is no room for it. Also, too, it maybe general laziness.

Man, just keeping to your lane and cruising around with 100km/h without ANYTHING happening get's you fucking tired...

>mfw faggot say we run the EU
>>59849418
bruh The ports of Antwerp and Rotterdam are a pretty big deal
How many ports does Austria have?
>>59849476
Oh, you dig them up? Basically, are they in a pipe like a natural gas line?
>>59849478
I waz just banting. You know I love you, Sweden, no homo.
Also, I she record myself driving on a road in my city. It is a fucking joke.
>>59849476
Depends, they are often in tunnels in big cities (like Paris or London).
In rural Netherlands, they are mostly buried.
In France, they are generally in ducts embedded in concrete.

All the net is outdated? All the maps and webs talking about high speed railroad networks in Europe say yours is shit.
>>59843500
At least we don't have 1 radar every fucking km who will rape you and your family if you exceed 1 kmh.
>>59849649
You lay plastic cables with microducts, each duct then hold a fiber cable with up to 672 strands, each strand can be made into 96 signals. So a normal duct would look like; 24 x 672 x 96 if fully fitted. Enough for ~1.5m homes if you really wanted to give everyone fiber.

>driving above speed limit
Scum, don't ever set foot in my country again.
>>59849837
>tfw I got a letter like that
Fucking camera in a down hill curve, max. speed was 90km/h on that highway
>>59849837
That's an "average speed" control though. That means you must have been speeding higher than that at some point.
>>59849894
Wow, you learn something new everyday. Thanks, bro.
>>59849837
1km over? Wow, no law with a set limit. You can go at least 16 kph here over the limit before it is speeding.
>>59850062
You have to pay for the Algerians benefits
>>59849837
There is a 5% tolerance on the speed, which means the actual measured speed was 117 km/h.
Still, those radars are annoying as fuck indeed.
>>59849932
I got caught speeding twice in Belgium but never received the tickets
Thank you based Belgium and your administrative mess
>>59835933
except american infrastructure is far more impressive than european infrastructure
>>59850194
all build by socialism in the new deal.
Because White people are the master race. The rest of the humanity didńt even do 10% of what we did
>>59850280
>implying a bit of socialism didnt allow capitalism to survive
>>59850178
You'll have a good laugh when you receive them 10 years later, with a 10000% increase for the late payment.
>>59850280
Oh, I fucked that up, but in reality, public work projects and hoover increasing taxes on the top corporations and businesses, in a way was socialism, but not the new deal. My bad.
>>59845255
Se chill at the coffeeshop (Roberts coffee in a train!)
>>59850394
I'll probably need to translate them from Arabic by that time
>>59850194
sure americat.
>>59850370
It did. The great depression and the recession we have now is the result of crony capitalism. I would not even call this country capitalist, but a mix of everything with crony capitalism. Ironically, if a more socialist type of president like FDR came today, he would have no chance in hell, yet they worked and we still use them.
But anyway, this is off topic.
Though speaking about infrastructure, I am amazed how your country control flooding.

You can believe what you want. I was just saying based on experience in othe countries.

>I am amazed how your country control flooding.
90% is just dikes against the higher sea level/lands below the rivers and proper drainage.
now the real achievements were made decades if not centuries ago, draining marshes with wooden windmills and primitive steam engines
the delta works are kinda impressive though, even if they're just emergency measures and quite a few of them are just dams/large dikes

I would actually appreciate these lights >>59848290 on our streets as well
>>59848162
>that mediterranean coastline
everytime
>>59849837
this takes into account both measurement uncertainties on your speedmeter and the radar, in your favor of course
that means you were driving around 110 km/h
>>59853776
*120 km/h
>>59841813
our economy is small compared to our population when comparing to european countries

You can't go 70MPH on a roundabout
>>59854768
So tell me in what fields is France ahead of Belgium other than road maintenance (let's not forget our highways are free while yours are not)? I wanna hear it
>>59855420
>You can't go 70MPH on a roundabout
lolcantturn
>>59855553
You made the claim, you prove it.
>>59855553

Yeah, that's why ours are maintained you genius

>what is NASCAR
>>59855553
>So tell me in what fields is France ahead of Belgium
Tourism is the first that comes to my mind
>>59855647
Are you suggesting you can turn at 112kph or you can't read signs and change lanes minutes in advance?
>>59844247
>California
>70mph
I fucking wish.
>>59855648
About everything France does, Belgium does it better. From healthcare to education to even standards of living.
>>59848532
Ah, the Swindon magic roundabout of hell.
>>59847225
Same thing, really.
>>59855553
Well apparently being butthurt wouldn't be on that list.
Ah, nice.
how are the tolls?
>>59849388
1. Set Cruise control 5mph faster than speed limit when not in the city
2. Be sure to slow down for road work where fines double
3. Try to drive around major cities and not through them
4. Turn on the radio and zone out for hours on end
>>59856406
there are none
Fuck roundabouts. I got not many of them in my city, but driving through em is a fucking pain. Only one on pic is ok.
>>59856489
>russian "roundabout"

You can perfectly take a roundabout at 112kph. It seems Americans cars are shit
>>59856769
