Danish part

[edit]

Is it really necessary to have all the exit ramps in the article? Ghent 17:13, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No it's not. It is enough to refer to the Danish article. -- BIL 11:15, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Deletion?

[edit]

This seems to be an article about nothing. It is obvious from the road map that no driver would really attempt to get from Tallinn to Shannon (say) by following the E20, as it would involve a quite unnecessary number of ferry journeys. Plainly the E20 is just a politically-motivated administrative construct rather than anything with any concrete reality. It is simply a re-naming of a number of existing roads in different countries. Therefore could we not just delete this article? Twilde (talk) 15:12, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No it should not be deleted. The road exists and that is enough. It is obvoius that you think the road number should not exist and a start would be to delete it from Wikipedia. I can see from your contributions that you write about British political subjects. The road possibly does not exist in the UK, but it is important for other countries. -- BIL (talk) 11:19, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No ferry?

[edit]

"There is no ferry between Kingston upon Hull and Esbjerg."

A pretty crap route then. --128.40.46.101 (talk) 14:48, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Most European highways are well routed, meaning they are suitable to use between any two points along them. But the E20 is not so well routed, no ferry and the odd direction Malmö-Gothenburg. The E20 is a partly a political compromise, parly because of the large sea areas which prevent a regular grid as in central Europe. The reason for the missing ferry is maybe the low-price air travel which has killed some long-distance ferry routes. --BIL (talk) 07:22, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistency

[edit]

The introduction says there *is* a ferry from Immingham, but later down the page it says there isn't one anymore. Which is correct? Asheiou (talk) 01:26, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Asheiou Oh nevermind, I see that it's saying there's a commercial ferry but not a passenger one. Silly me! Asheiou (talk) 01:28, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
