Norway's 150km of Motorway, what other countries do we have more motorway than?

Norway, despite it's oil wealth, only has 150km's of actual motorway in the state. That astonished me. I expected far more then that. Got me thinking what other European countries does Ireland have more motorway then?

Airport to main train station - 19 minutes...

For the full effect of this you should also add that the airport is 40km from Oslo, and not 9km like here. that train is impressive. The only problem is that like everything in Norway is is damn expensive. About €30 for a return to the city centre. Argh.

From driving around Norway I really think that more could be spent on the roads. Then again one of my visits there coincided with the motorway to Sandefjord being closed due a tunnel collapsing. That boring bus journey from Torp to Oslo turned into a wonderful spin through some very picturesque Norwegian villages. Ryanair don't fly to Torp anymore but if they did I would be annoyed about having to use the motorway again.

Comparing Ireland and Norway is like comparing apples and oranges anyway. They have been exploiting there great natural resources for far longer than the short period in which we had our virtual economy.
