Top 10 Countries With the Best ROAD NETWORK in the World

Top 10 Countries with The Best Road Networks in The World
Hello Displorers, welcome to another informative video presented to you by Displore and thanks for watching. In this video, we shall be taking you around the world presenting to you the top 10 countries with the best road networks. Every nation aims to have a good road network to improve its economic, social and even political agenda. There are basic standards by which a country’s road quality are judged to pick out the best from the worst ones as well. The World Economic Forum's new Global Competitiveness Report allows us to compare the countries with the best quality of roads and the best road connectivity. The Global competitive report ranks the road quality of nations on 7. With this, the countries with marks above 5 and 6 have the best roads while those with the lowest marks have the worst road network. In making this decision, the quality and not the quantity and connectivity of a country’s roads are taken into consideration.

According to the quality of roads in each country, here are the top countries with the best road networks in the world.
10. Austria – Score - 5.9
Austria features an excellent network of transport system and transhipment hubs where intermodal terminals link roads, railways and waterways. On balance, Austria has 26 intermodal terminals which ensure the optimal combination of road, rail and waterway traffic. Excellent motorways and federal roads connect Austria with all of its neighbouring countries. All major border checkpoints both on highways and federal roads are open around the clock. The length of the road network in Austria is estimated at 200,000km and these roads are in top shape and hence show in its 5.9 marks on 7 when the Global Competitive report did its calculations and conclusion.

9. UAE- Score - 5.9
The UAE has the best road network globally and one of the best quality of roads in the world. According to the Global Competitiveness Report issued by the World Economic Forum for the year 2019, the UAE occupies the seventh position in the index of road quality and 9th in 2020. The roads in the UAE are not only good but the additions to the road make driving on it very easy. Ministry of Interior Development replaced traditional lights with power-saving LED lamps on all federal roads spanning 710km. The LEDs are less pollutant to the environment with less carbon emission than traditional lights. They also have a longer life that hits 10 years and save 50% of consumed energy. The UAE continues to construct and maintain roads in accordance with international standards, using the best technology that fits the country's environmental conditions. The roads' projects aim to improve efficiency of traffic and connect parts of the country with a modern road network. The UAE has a road network, which connects different emirates with each other. In Abu Dhabi, the Darb website, uses the Geographical Information System and helps users to access fast, up-to-date and reliable information on driving directions, car travel maps, bus travel maps, bus terminals, points of interest, ferry routes and timings. Roads and Transport Authority launched Smart Drive, an on-board route planning and exploration app, which operates without mobile Internet connection to provide turn-by-turn voice and visual instruction, automatic re-routing and speed limit alerts while displaying points of interest along the drive.
8. Oman. Scrore - 6
Due to the large-scale program of road construction carried out by the Ministry of Communications over the past 3 decades, there are now approximately 6,000km of paved roads and 24,000km of unpaved roads in Oman. In 1970 there were only 10km of paved roads and about 1,700km of unpaved road in the entire country. The number of licensed automobiles on the road increased from 261,627 in 1992 to 404,375 in 1998 and this increase in traffic also led to an increase in the number of road deaths from 218 in 1992 to 478 in 1998. Hence the government stepped in to provide better road network in the county. The total roads in Oman are 62,240km with 29,685km paved including 1943km of expressways and unpaved amounting to 30,545km according to 2012 statistics. Oman has two expressway grade highways, with the first 8 lane expressways opening up in 2017. Al Batinah Coastal Road is a highway known as Sultan Qaboos Street, and it is the trunk road running through the city thatinterchanges taking the form of roundabouts spaced approximately7km apart with unique features to enliven the streetscape. The roundabouts are named for driver navigation.

Talking only about roads, Hong Kong is not impressive at all. The roads in the urban areas are very patchy and look ugly. It's the efficient public transportation that Hong Kong should take pride in.

[melinasasha]

I've been to Dubai many times and was extremely impressed with the quality of their roads.

[mcnszpr]

Really hard to imagine this list without Germany.

[creativerse]

*You talked about Singapore at #1 but showed the footage of gurugrum city of India* lol

[bonnygupta]

On singapore section time 12:54 you have mention the pictures of Gurgaon India

[podge]

This has no credibility when Germany isn’t included

[amanpundir]

Talking about Singapore..but showing video of gurugram city india😂 at 12:55 and 13:27

I'm happy that the Netherlands was placed third, I've been in France with the car and I can personally tell that the Dutch roads are better in the rain (and have to be replaced twice as often because of the different asphalt mixture).

But if you look at the total traffic mix the Netherlands will still be in the top 5 (not to shure on most asian countries but most of Japan is only accessable by car (small villages without even a but line))
So I think that would go something like: Singapore/Hongkong, Netherlands, Luxemburg, South Korea (not exact order)).

Hello from Canada. It is remarkable how many interesting and fine places there are in the world. Best wishes for your channel.

[prajjawalsharma]

2:55 the images u showed in Singapore roads section is in DLF, Gurugram, India. Plz correct ur fact🙂

[IHN]

Meanwhile china - we are the only countries in world have more then 150, 000 KM Expressways

And USA - we have 98, 000 km Expressway

[Zoza]

I think the road infrastructure here in The Netherlands is world class because its mixed used for cars, pedestrians and bikes all 3 are well separated over the whole country.
I haven't seen a single country that has developed advanced infrastructure as we do.

People that never been to The Netherlands have no idea how well developed this country truly is.

I have driven tens of thousands of kilometers in 27 Western European countries and my experience is very different from the video ranking. Of course I am not talking about countries of which I have no direct experience, but for the EU my ranking is:
1. France
2. Netherlands
3. Italy
4. Spain
5. Belgium
6. Portugal
7. Switzerland
8. Germany
9. Ireland
10. UK

PS. I'm not French ;-)

[Vermilion]

“Japan roads are great！”
shows Chinese roads

[alexs.]

I don't think the ranking is very accurate. As an Austria, I can say that our country shouldn't be on this list. It takes an eternity to go from one place to another because they avoided so much the construction of bridges and tunnels. Everywhere are always maintenance works that last forever (because workers go home at 5 pm and don't work during the weekends). The railroad so far is also poorly made and it takes forever to go anywhere and it is extremely expensive. The only positive thing I can think of is the public transportation in the bigger cities.

Very nice, good job my friend. Have a nice sunday !

[Jolanv]

You said that there are in Switzerland no tolls, but for the highway / motorway you have to buy a vignet : that costs 40 CHF for 1 year.

[tiberiusinuk]

what about Germany? HK is quite poor quality compared to German network

[anuragtumane]

Cannot believe countries like United States, Canada, Russia, Australia and India are not here.

[timquestionmark]

Dutch roads aren't good because we have a lot of it. Our roads are good because our alternatives, trains, trams and cycling, are better. Only people that absolutely have to drive use the roads.
