List of countries by road network size explained

This is a list of countries (or regions) by total road network size, both paved and unpaved. Also included is additional data on the length of each country or region's controlled-access highway network (also known as a motorway, expressway, freeway, etc.), designed for high vehicular traffic.

Unless otherwise noted, the data is from the United States's Central Intelligence Agency.[1] [2]
