Originally uploaded to Coppermine on Jul 28, 2009 by TruveloThe E40 (A10/A12) has long connected the UK with the Low Countries and much of Central Europe. Three-lane and well-serviced for most of its length, but watch the drivers...!

Originally uploaded to Coppermine on Aug 01, 2005 by IJP1Belgium has recently placed copies of fork signs in the central reservation. Handy if lane 1 is choked with trucks, and cheaper than a gantry. Wonder what it does for the safety record, though. Agree with IPJ1: the drivers in Belgium are truly awful!
Originally uploaded to Coppermine on Aug 17, 2006 by csdBelgium appears to favour Euroroute numbers over their own motorway designations. The E40 here is also part of Belgium's A18, but you'd be hard-pressed to find any direction signs with 'A18' on them. The kilometre posts, however, show the A number.
