Roads in Armenia

Roads in Armenia serve as the main transport network in Armenia. With an underdeveloped railway network, principally due to its difficult terrain, the road system is of vital importance for the development of the country. Its role is important in both national and international traffic.

The total length of the Armenian road network is 8,140 km (5,060 mi), 96.7% of which is asphalted. For every 1,000 km2 (390 sq mi) of national territory, there are 258 km (160 mi) of roads. Armenia is a member of the International Road Transport Union and the TIR Convention.

Highways of national importance

edit

The first roads as we conceive them in a modern perception, appeared in Armenia in the 19th century.

The main roads in the country are identified using the Armenian letter Մ ("M"):

Highways of regional importance

edit

These roads are a level below Մ level roads, and connect main highways to communities across the country. There are 84 numbered roads of this class in the country, which are designated using the letter Հ ("H"). In total there are 1969 km roads of this class.[1]
