National Highways: The main roads which are constructed and maintained by the Central Government are known as the National Highways. These roads are meant for inter-state transport and movement of defence men and material in strategic areas.

State Highways: These are constructed and maintained by state governments. They join the state capitals with district headquarters and other important towns.

District Roads: These roads are the connecting link between District Headquarters and the other important nodes in the district.

Rural Roads: These roads are vital for providing links in the rural areas. About 80 per cent of the total road length in India are categorised as rural roads. There is regional variation in the density of rural road because these are influenced by the nature of the terrain.
