Unlike the Southern Africans, ex-French West Africa gives us the jackpot of a map where you can't make out the numbers and <drum roll> a list of their regional organisation's road system. Though like the others, it's mostly meaningless beyond a way into a country.

Are the international TAH / CU routes signed?

no - I'm mostly only bothered because they spur me to begin places that look like hard work. As I've said at least once, these systems are mostly development corridors (like Appliances Development or High Priority Corridors, or TEN-T core routes) that the international bodies have grand ambitions for it being an Interstate/E Road sort of network one day.

Mozambique would have it's national system done if the international ones hadn't driven me to do it. See also DRC and Angola when I've done them. The other Southern hemisphere African country (we'll ignore that small bit of Somalia), Madagascar, has zero interest to me, but those Atlantic Coast countries do - purely because there's gaps in the international systems (namely the RTR) that I want to fill. Congo, the small islands, etc they were easy small systems, but otherwise the initial drive was these international systems.

The same was true for Europe. I'd either done the E roads for CHM, or had to overhaul when we moved to TM, and thus worked on tier 4 where it was part done. We almost certainly wouldn't have routes in Russia, Asia, etc if it wasn't for the international systems, and can add Malawi, Tanzania, etc to that list now.

If the entire international route systems are unsigned but drafted, does it mean that we can add other totally unsigned systems  too? Systems which only exist on maps? Like the potential tier 5 systems for Hungary or Croatia?

There's a large difference here - the international route systems are looking at being signed in the future, unlike Hungary and Croatia tier 5 systems.

And certainly, until they are signed, these systems aren't going to be activated. Their main purpose in being included is to give an 'in' to countries we wouldn't have otherwise bothered with - they might even be removed if plans to sign them don't happen and they are able to be replaced by national systems (which mostly they are concurrent with).

What's the indication of it?

When have the African international routes been defined  / agreed? Recently?

Ok, haven't known. Fine with me.

Thanks, I appreciate it :)

Similar to previous questions: What's the story behind the afrrtr - SADC Regional Trunk Roads system? Who has defined them? Are they signed?

Read the thread. Or this wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SADC_Regional_Trunk_Road_Network

Are they signed?
I don't think so, but they've designed how signing them would look and seem to be planning on doing so.

They are staying on preview for now. They may disappear if I ever get round to finishing Angola and DRC's national networks. Or they may have a review requested if they start being signed.
