There ARE freeways in Russia, especially in the larger cities and the MKAD (the main ring road in Moscow) was recently widened. What Russia doesn't have yet, and I'm sure there are plans for one, is an intercity network. Probably such a network hasn't been constructed yet is because Russians don't do a lot of long-distance driving, and the distances between major cities is DEFINITELY great.

Well, when you say "north", then you're talking about latitude, but when you

say "longitude", then the number has to be either east or west. So there's

enough ambiguity here to simply say that the question doesn't make sense,

and I could just walk away from it.

But I can't resist a good map-reading exercise, that not only produces a ton of

useless information, but at the same time helps me avoid the things I should be

doing.

-- The center of the intersection of Red Barns and Links Road, near Armstrong

Cottages in Bamburgh, Northumberland, England, is only 420 meters north of

55.6 north latitude.

-- The Cassiar Highway (PH-37) crosses 55.6 north latitude in Smithers, about

2 miles northwest of Cranberry Junction BC in Canada.

-- Tunisvej and Hvf Selandia intersect at 55.6 north latitude, in the southern suburbs

of Copenhagen, Denmark.

-- And how could you ignore the long piece of the MKAD Vneshnyaya Storona

around Moscow that follows 55.6 north latitude.

-- Or the P20 Highway on the north side of Novopolotsk in Belarus, which

follows 55.6 north latitude for several km between the river and the railroad.
