Roads in Cuba
  .png) The road network of Cuba consists of 60,858 km (37,815 mi) of roads, of which over 29,850 km (18,550 mi) are paved and 31,038 km (19,286 mi) are unpaved. The Caribbean country counts also 654 km (406 mi) of motorways (autopistas). MotorwaysOverviewCuba has eight toll-free expressways named Autopistas, seven of them centralized in the city of Havana and connected to each other by the Havana Ring Road, with the exception of the motorway to Mariel. The carriageway is divided and the lanes in each direction go from two to four. Maximum speed limit is 120 km/h (75 mph). In the Isla de la Juventud, the dual carriageway from Nueva Gerona to La Fe is classified as a motorway.[1] The principal motorways A1 and A4, running from the west to the east of the island and partly unbuilt (most of A1 sections), are the only one numbered and shortened with "A".[1] As well as the Carretera Central covers the entire island, they are projected to perform the same function as motorways. The route from Matanzas to Varadero of the Vía Blanca is the only toll road between Cuban motorways. The other autopistas have short routes and run from Havana to its suburban towns in Artemisa and Mayabeque provinces. List of motorways
State highwaysCuba has a complex network of single carriageway highways, most of them numbered, named Carreteras or Circuitos. Some of the most prominent are:
Other more minor state highways are numbered east to west per pre-1970s province, with the numbering system largely going unupdated and unused also after the 70s. The numbers are 1 for Pinar del Río Province, 2 for La Habana Province, 3 for Matanzas Province, 4 for Las Villas Province, 5 for Camagüey Province, and 6 for Oriente Province, with each province having secondary numbers for each road, also going from east to west 1-999. More major highways use the letter “I” as a prefix infront of the secondary number, such as the Circuito Norte (I–3), using 1–I–3, 2–I–3, 3–I–3, 4–I–3, 5–I–3, and 6–I–3. State highways in Cuba include:[3]
