This is a list of parkways and named highways in Kentucky. Most parkways also carry an unsigned 9000-series designation.
__TOC__The Kentucky Parkway System is a statewide system of controlled-access highways financed and built as toll roads. State law requires the removal of tolls once the cost of construction is recouped; all parkways are toll-free. The system is built at or near-to interstate standards, and it provides access to portions of Kentucky not serviced by interstates. Several parkways have been or are planned to be re-designated as mainline or spur interstate highways.
