M-50 (Spain)
The M-50 orbital motorway is the outermost ring road of Madrid and its metropolitan area. It has a length of 85 km and, unlike the other ring roads, doesn't form a closed ring, lacking a connection in the northwest between A-6 and A-1. It runs at an average distance of 13.5 km from the Puerta del Sol. Currently it is the longest beltway in the Madrid region, and may be compared with London's M25 motorway and Berlin's A10 beltway. It is managed by the central government. Its construction was financed using a shadow toll system, paid with the tolls collected from the motorways R-2, R-3, R-4 and R-5. Nomenclature The M-50 name was chosen as the highway is theoretically the fifth ring road in Madrid. The first ring is formed by the streets that follow the route of Felipe IV's wall of Madrid along the streets known as the ''Rondas'' (Ronda de Segovia, Ronda de Toledo, Ronda de Valencia, Ronda de Atocha) and the ''Bulevares'' (Génova, Sagasta, Carranza, Alberto Ag ...

Autovía A-1
An ''autovía'' is one of two classes of major highway in the Spanish road system similar to a British motorway or an American freeway. It is akin to the autopista, the other major highway class, but has fewer features and is never a toll road.

While autopistas are generally new routes, ''autovías'' are normally improvements to existing roads, so they may have tighter curves and less safe accesses, often with shorter acceleration lanes. However, both have nominal speed limits of . Rest areas are usually or 2 hours apart. There is usually a safety lane along the median. Although generally state-owned and financed, there are some ''autovías'' which are actually built and maintained by private companies, such as Pamplona-Logroño A-12.
