Roads and expressways in South Korea
- Roads and expressways in South Korea
Expressways in South Korea were originally numbered in order of construction. Since August 24, 2001, they have been numbered in a scheme somewhat similar to that of the Interstate Highway System in the United States:
* Arterial routes are designated by two-digit route numbers, with north-south routes having odd numbers, and east-west routes having even numbers. Primary routes (i.e. major thoroughfares) have five and zero as their last digits respectively, while lesser (secondary) routes have various final digits.
* Branch routes have three-digit route numbers, where the first two digits match the route number of an arterial route.
* Belt lines have three-digit route numbers where the first digit matches the respective city's postal code.
* Route numbers in the range 70-99 are not used in South Korea and are reserved for designations in the event of Korean reunification.
* The Gyeongbu Expressway kept its Route 1 designation, as it is South Korea's first and most important expressway.
