M-50, Orbital motorway in Community of Madrid, Spain.

The M-50 forms an 85-kilometer highway system surrounding Madrid at an average distance of 13.5 kilometers from the central Puerta del Sol point.

Construction of the M-50 began in 1990 with an initial section connecting the A-4 highway to Getafe and the M-409 at Fuenlabrada.

The discovery of ancient flint mines in Vicálvaro during 2003 construction led to modifications in the road's planned route to preserve archaeological findings.

The motorway remains incomplete in the northwest section between the A-6 and A-1 highways, requiring drivers to use alternative routes for full circumnavigation.

The M-50 functions through a shadow toll system where the central government manages operations while receiving fees from multiple connected motorways.
