This map shows accessibility potential by road in the BSR in 2014. Accessibility potential by road is defined as a function of the activities or opportunities to be reached at the destinations (here: population), weighted by the car travel times needed to reach them. Darker colours represent areas with the most (blue) or least (red) potential with the ESPON average (100) taken as the middle point. Large disparities can be seen in accessibility potential by road. Compared with central Europe, many regions of the BSR represent peripheral areas. Only regions in Germany enjoy accessibility potentials by road above the European average. Denmark, Southern Sweden, Finland, Poland, Lithuania, Eastern Belarus, and Leningrad in Russia have relatively high accessibility potentials by road compared to other regions of the BSR.
