A list of E-motorways (European motorways) in Belgium, not all motorways are E-ways and normally they should have a national reference as well. Tag motorways with the int_ref (their E number) and nat_ref (see list and add what's appropriate) keys whenever possible. Note: do not add a space or hyphen in the reference but use values like E40 and A18.
