The craze now in various European capitals seems to be the Beltway – Vienna’s S2, Budapest’s M0, Belgrade, Skopje, Warsaw, etc. I came across this image of part of Stockholm’s new Södra Länken (the Southern Link) – the southern part of the beltway there. It’s a huge picture and makes for a great desktop wallpaper (click it), and it also shows something lacking on this side of the pond: any semblance of artistic or aesthetic senses. The decor as the tunnel splits reminds the driver of both an EU flag and Sweden’s national colours. American roads, quantity over quality, maybe?
