The motorways in the Republic of Macedonia are called ''avtopat'' ((マケドニア語:автопат)) and the name, like its translation in most languages, simply means ''auto road''. The system has inherited much from the former Yugoslavia. Pay-tolls (''patarini'') remain in place and the speed limit is .〔Ministry of Internal Affairs Law for Public Transport p.29 (Mk) http://www.mvr.gov.mk/Uploads/ZBSP-%20neoficijalen%20precisten%20tekst%20od%2020.11.2012.doc.pdf〕 The highways were originally marked with yellow-colour hard shoulder lines and some of these remain in place, they are however slowly being phased out and replaced with white. The motorway roadsigns maintain their green colour background, a feature shared with Switzerland, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Greece, Lithuania and the United States as well as the other former Yugoslav republics. The roads are on the whole straight with good surfacing, and better maintained than the national roads. ==Motorway A1== The first motorway runs from the Tabanovce border crossing with Serbia (for Preševo), passing Kumanovo (A2 junction), Petrovec (Skopje Airport) near Skopje (A3 junction), Veles, Gradsko (A5 junction) Negotino (A7 junction), and continuing onto the main border crossing with Greece, ''Bogorodica-Evzoni'' near Gevgelija. The large part of this express route was built whilst Macedonia was a part of the SFR Yugoslavia, with the Kumanovo-Petrovec section first opened for traffic in 1979. The motorway was completed in 2004 in time for the Athens Olympics. For approximately 30 km between Skopje Airport and Veles, the motorway splits, creating a gradual distance of several kilometres. The northbound route is the postulated motorway route whilst the slightly longer southbound route, with dangerous bends, is the old road and is being used as a freeway as it is only one-way. There are no plans at present to develop the northbound route into two separate carriageways thus perfecting the network. The motorway A1 is part of European route E75. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Motorways in the Republic of Macedonia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
