Editing Road hierarchy (section)

===Comparison of symbols and names===
Here there is a table comparing the symbols and generic names of the various route types in Europe. Not shown are the expressways ([[limited-access road]]s) and municipal-level routes, as these categories seldom have specific signage. Some countries have two categories of secondary routes, in which case they are shown here in hierarchical order.
