vejnummer

Vejnummer is a Danish term that translates to "road number" or "route number" in English. It refers to the official designation assigned to public roads in Denmark, used for identification and navigation. These numbers are crucial for the country's road network management, traffic signs, and mapping services.

The numbering system for Danish roads is managed by the Danish Road Directorate (Vejdirektoratet). The designation typically consists of one or more digits, and in some cases, a letter suffix. The primary purpose of vejnummer is to distinguish between different roads, especially major arterial routes and motorways, which often have higher numbers or specific prefixes. For example, E-roads are part of the European route system, while R-roads and Sekundærruter represent national and secondary routes respectively. Local roads may have simpler or no numerical designations beyond their names.

Vejnummer are prominently displayed on road signs throughout Denmark, aiding drivers in following directions and understanding their location within the national transport infrastructure. This systematic approach ensures clarity and efficiency in road usage, both for residents and visitors. The consistent application of these numbers is vital for public safety and the effective functioning of Denmark's transportation system.
