Route Nationale 15
The N 15 was a trunk road (Route Nationale) in France. Route The RN 15 links the A13 to Le Havre via Rouen and Yvetot. The RN 15 originates at junction 14 on the A13 autoroute in the Yvelines ''département'' near Bonnières-sur-Seine. The road's first few kilometres are notoriously dangerous as the road is a continuous decline towards the river Seine from the A13 autoroute to the RN 13. After crossing the RN 13, the RN 15 follows the Seine towards Vernon. The RN 15 straightens and leaves the river, passing the town of Gaillon. The road runs parallel to the A13 autoroute and passes through the ''Forêt de Louviers'' heading North and over the river at Pont-de-l'Arche onto the right bank of the Seine. The road follows the river bank overlooked by surrounding cliffs including the ''Roches de Saint-Adrien''. The road meets the Route nationale 14 and enters the capital of Normandy, Rouen. The N15 heads Northwest from the city centre and towards Yvetot. It enters the town of Yve ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Route Nationale (France)
A ''route nationale'', or simply ''nationale'', is a class of trunk road in France. They are important roads of national significance which cross broad portions of the French territory, in contrast to departmental or communal roads which serve more limited local areas. Their use is free, except when crossing certain structures subject to a toll. They are open to all vehicles, except on certain sections having motorway ('' autoroute'') or express road (''voie express'') status, both of these categories being reserved for motorized vehicles only. France at one time had some 30,500 km of ''routes nationales'' and publicly owned motorways, but this figure has decreased with the transfer of the responsibility for many routes to the '' départements'' so that by 2010 the total length of motorways and other national roads was around 21,100 km. By way of comparison, ''routes départementales'' in the same year covered a total distance of 378,000 km. The layout of the ma ...
