The general state of the territorial road network of Russia. General data on the length of roads in the Russian Federation

Reference to the conference call on measures to improve the condition of regional and municipal roads.

Currently, the public road network in Russian Federation has a total length of 1,452.2 thousand km, of which 51.9 thousand km are federal roads, 515.8 thousand km are regional roads, and 884.5 thousand km are local roads. There is no hard surface on 8.1% of regional roads and 43.6% of local roads. 64.4% of regional roads and 29% of local roads have improved pavement of the carriageway, capable of passing the flow of trucks, regardless of weather and climatic conditions.

63.6% of the length of federal highways, 38.8% of the total length of regional roads and 31.6% of the length of local roads meet the regulatory requirements.

Currently, nine agreements have been signed in the amount of 3.827 billion rubles (Bryansk Region, Lipetsk Region, Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Republic of Chuvashia, Republic of Buryatia, Omsk Region, Amur Region, Primorsky Territory, Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)).

The provision of subsidies and interbudgetary transfers for the implementation of road activities in relation to regional and local roads is currently carried out both targeted - for specific road facilities, and in aggregate - for the implementation of activities provided for by regional programs.

May 24, 2016 An accurate and unambiguous answer to the question “where are the best roads in the world?” does not exist. Since there is no single understanding of the word "best", different experts put different meanings into it...

Some consider the width and number of lanes to be the main indicator of the quality of roads, others consider the number of sharp turns per kilometer of the road, others consider the quality of asphalt, and others consider the average speed.

Therefore, the list of the four countries with the best roads, which we publish here, is rather conditional and is based on various sources.

Switzerland

The centuries-old habit of the inhabitants of this mountainous country to make everything of the highest quality, whether it be watches, cheese or knives, is also noticeable when driving along the local roads. The reviews of tourists are mostly enthusiastic - the roads in Switzerland are in perfect condition and are laid very skillfully, while driving you often forget that you are driving through mountainous areas. True, tunnels are often reminded of this - there are more than 200 of them in this small country. But you have to pay for the excellent quality of Swiss roads, and not per kilometer, but according to a kind of subscription - a “vignette”, which is issued for a year and is attached to each car.

Germany

The Germans themselves to the question "where are the best roads in the world?" confidently answer - in Germany. After all, it was here that the autobahns were invented - high-speed roads with a barrier or in some other way separated by oncoming traffic flows. The recommended speed on the autobahn is 130 km/h, but this is just a recommendation - there is no official speed limit on autobahns here. And since speed is the main advantage of the autobahn, the maximum slope of the roadway should not exceed 4%. As for the strength of the road surface, it is provided by a web thickness of 55-58 cm, which allows even such a giant as the Boeing 747 to land on autobahns.

The construction of high-quality highways in the United States has always been a priority in the economic policy of the government of this country. Indeed, unlike Europe, most of the flow of goods and passengers in the United States falls not on rail, but on road transport. The total length of highways in the United States is the largest in the world - more than six million kilometers, of which expressways (here they are called "interstate") - more than 76 thousand kilometers.

China

In terms of the length of roads, the Celestial Empire ranks second, after the United States, in the world - almost four million kilometers. Moreover, the quality of Chinese roads, according to experts, is not satisfactory. The Chinese government is investing heavily in development road network countries, solving the complex and ambitious task of reaching the first place in the world in terms of the total length of roads.

Conquer kilometers of roads - an exciting activity. Especially if the track has a modern surface and allows you to drive along the longest route without interference.

Today we offer the Top 10, which included longest highways in the world. Each of them is of particular importance for those countries through whose territory it runs.

By total length China's highway network ranks second in the world after the United States. The length of the main National Highway 010 is 5,700 km. The route starts in the north-east of the continental part of the country, and ends on the island of Hainan, where the cars are transported by ferry.

9. Track in the Tarim Desert, China

This highway is the longest road in the desert. The road is important for oil producers, who a few years ago began to develop a large oil and gas field in the desert.

8. Interstate 90, USA

The American road network is the longest and most extensive on the planet. Interstate 90 starts at the Canadian border and ends in Boston. It is noteworthy that the highway passes through the world's longest pontoon bridge. Most of the highway is tolled.

7. US Route 20, USA

The longest track in the US has a length of 5,500 km. The road connects the East Coast of the United States with the West. US Route 20 passes through the main national park Yellowstone.

6. Karakoram Highway, Pakistan-China

The route almost completely repeats the route of the ancient Great silk road. Highway is the highest in the world. Due to the dangers lurking in the sheer cliffs, nearly 1,000 workers died while building the road.

5. Trans-Siberian Highway, Russia

On official maps, such a highway simply does not exist. However, if we combine several routes from the Baltic to the Sea of ​​Japan into a single whole, we get a single federal road with a length of 11,000 km.

4. Trans-Canada Highway, Canada

This highway connects 10 Canadian provinces. The length of the route is 8030 km. Having traveled the entire route, you can get from the Pacific coast directly to the Atlantic coast. The road has been under construction for over 20 years.

3. Highway 1, Australia

Australia's main state highway stretches for a record 14,500 km. The route does not go deep into the continent, but all the time stretches along the coast. More than a million vehicles pass through Highway 1 daily.

2. Highway AH1, Japan - Turkey

Asian Highway No. 1 is a special UN project that has received billions of dollars. The length of the route connecting Japan, both Koreas, Vietnam, Cambodia, Burma, India, Bangladesh, Thailand, Iran, Pakistan and Turkey is 20,557 km. Today, cars are transported from the Japanese part of the highway to the mainland by ferry, but a project for an underwater tunnel is being developed.

1. Pan American Highway, North and South America

The longest highway in the world is listed in the Guinness Book of Records. The length of the road is 48,000 km, it passes through the territory of 15 states. Construction of the Pan-American Highway began in 1889. It is noteworthy that on the official maps of the United States and Canada there is no route called the "Pan American Highway", although in fact the road passes through the territory of these countries.
