Road network in Romania by quality (since 2 January 2020)

Public roads in Romania are ranked according to importance and traffic as follows:

Contents

Some of the national roads are part of the European route scheme. European routes passing through Romania: E58; E60; E70; E85; E79; E81; E68; E87 (Class A); E574; E576; E581; E583; E671; E771.

As of 31 December 2021, public roads totaled 86,199 km (53,562 mi): 17,530 km (20.3%) national roads, 35,096 km (40.7%) county roads and 33,573 km (39%) local roads. [1]

From the point of view of the type of cover, the structure of the public road network registers at the end of 2019 was: 38,166 km (44.2%) modernized roads (92.8% with asphalt pavements of heavy/medium type and 7.8% with concrete), 21,365 km (24.7%) with light asphalt road clothing, 17,831 km (20.6%) cobblestone roads and 9,021 km (10.5%) dirt roads. [2] Of all cobblestone and dirt roads 73% are local roads. [2]

Regarding the technical condition, 13,411 km (35.1%) of modernized roads and 9,217 km (43.1%) of roads with light road clothing have exceeded their "service life". [2]

Motorways are identified by A followed by a number. As of September 2023, Romania has 1008 km of motorway in use, with another 199 km under construction. [3] In recent years, a master plan for the national motorway network has been developed and many works have begun around the country, [4] which will result in significant changes by 2015, [5] and eventually by 2022. [6]

There are few tolls for using roads in Romania. There is one at the Giurgeni – Vadu Oii Bridge over the river Danube on highway DN2A at Vadu Oii and one at the Cernavodă Bridge, on the A2 motorway, a 17 km long section between Fetești and Cernavodă which consists of two road/railway bridges. Nevertheless, every owner of a car that uses a motorway (A) or a national road (DN) in Romania must purchase a vignette (rovinietă) from any of the main petrol stations or at any post office throughout the country. [7]

European routes

Total length of European routes in Romania at the end of 2019 is 6,176 km (3837.5 mi). [2]

National road network

Total length (including European routes and Highways) of National Roads in 2019 is 17,873 km (11105.77 mi), [2] an increase from 17,272 km (10,732 mi) in 2015. [15] The majority of National Roads (DN) are single carriageway, with only 12.5% being dual carriageway. [2] A major problem being that many National Roads (drumuri naționale) have no ring roads around cities and towns, disrupting the traffic flow (i.e. making traffic condition more difficult).

In 2019 16,088 km (9,996 mi) of National Roads are asphalt concrete roads of heavy/medium type, 880 km (546.8 mi) concrete roads and 720 km (447 mi) of light asphalt road "clothing". [2] 54.7% of heavy/medium roads and 79.4% of light asphalt roads have exceeded their "service life" and are in need of some form of repair or replacement. [2]

Seven one-digit national roads start off in Bucharest in a radial pattern. [3]
