at year-end
Between 2010 and 2023, the road network in the country changed from 1004 to 1750 thousand kilometers. Three categories are presented: total length of all roads, public roads, and federal roads. These rows allow for a comparison of the road network scale and the share of federal highways in the overall infrastructure. Values are given as of the end of each year and cover the entire territory of Russia
- Roads – total, thousand km
- Automobile roads – total, thousand km — public use
- public use — From total length of automobile roads – roads with hard surface – total, thousand km
- From total length of automobile roads – roads with hard surface – total, thousand km — public use

How to read this table
Rows are categorized by the level of significance and coverage of the road network. Comparing the total length of all roads with indicators for public or federal roads allows for an assessment of the quality and accessibility of transport infrastructure at different scales. The data tracks the development of various types of road networks over fourteen years
What is visible in these numbers
Highest values: Total motor roads, thousand km (1 750), Total motor roads, thousand km — of general use (1 580), of general use — of total length (1 234). The gap between the highest and lowest is 8 750 times. The top three account for 61.4% of the total across all items — the distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual and cover 6 periods. Cells with numbers: 144 out of 144 (100%), i.e. the table is almost entirely filled
