In Belgium the Highways (Autosnelwegen/Autoroutes) are indicated by an A and an E(uropean) number. The E numbers are used most. Roads which are (part of) a ringroad around a town or city are mostly indicated by an R number.

Many of the highways in Belgium are fully illuminated at night, as there is a surplus of Nuclear power in the off-peak hours. It is often claimed that the Belgium illuminated highways ("the Belgium window"^[1]) are the only man-made objects which are visible from space with the naked eye.
