Which country has the longest circumnavigate motorway (highway) in the world?
Australia 's Highway 1 is a network of highways that circumnavigate the Australian continent, joining all mainland state capitals. At a total length of approximately 14,500 km (9,000 mi) it is the longest national highway in the world, longer than the Trans-Siberian Highway (over 11,000 km or 6,800 mi) and the Trans-Canada Highway (8,030 km or 4,990 mi). Every day more than a million people travel on a part of it.

john duckett, A motorway is a major road that has been specially built for fast travel over long distances. Motorways have several lanes and special places where traffic gets on and leaves.

Don't think it qualifies as a motorway.

Paul Greenslade, do you mean that some of it is dirt road?
Jasmina Krtalic Cvitkovic
I live there and misread question.
Cheryl Hotte
Is there only this one question?
Paul Greenslade
More than half of it isn't 'motorway' at all. Some of it isn't even 'all weather'.

That would be the logical answer, for a country, that is also identified as a continent as well.

I took a guess from the list of countries based on what was built prior to highways..And high ways on Aus. is not built yet.

A network of highways as in more than one. Hence your info is wrong.
