The conception of the development of the Hungarian motorway network as part of the proposed Pan-European motorway system.

One of the tools to accelerate the rate of development of Hungary and achieve within a reasonable period to the average economical performance level of the EU is to improve the transport infrastructure. Therefore one of the main objectives of transport policy in Hungary (and other EU accession countries) is to set up motorway networks and upgrade the railway networks to at least the average EU during the next 12-13 years. These goals of these policies are different from the Common Transport Policy of EU. The paper demonstrates by means of the development concept of motorway network the differences and similarities of Transport Policies of the EU and Hungary. For the covering abstract see ITRD E126595.
