United States US: Total Road Network: %: Urban Roads data is updated yearly, averaging 25.948 % from Dec 1994 (Median) to 2022, with 29 observations.

The data is categorized under Global Database’s United States – Table US.OECD.ITF: Transport Infrastructure, Investment and Maintenance: OECD Member: Annual. [COVERAGE] The road network is all roads in a given area. LENGTH OF URBAN ROADS A road inside a built-up area, with entries and exits sign-posted as such. Motorways, express roads and other roads of higher speed traversing the built-up area, if not signed-posted as built-up roads are not included. Streets are included. LENGTH OF ROADS A road is a line of communication (travelled way) open to public traffic, primarily for the use of road motor vehicles, using a stabilised base other than rails or air strips. Paved roads and other roads with a stabilised base, e.g. gravel roads, are included. Roads also cover streets, bridges, tunnels, supporting structures, junctions, crossings and interchanges. Toll roads are also included. Dedicated cycle lanes are not included. [COVERAGE] Road refers to the US definition of either roadway or traffic way. Roadway (travelled portion of road) and shoulder, if an, make up the road. Trafficway is the entire right-of-way (or land way set outside) containing one or more roads for traffic in the same or opposite directions. [STAT_CONC_DEF] The length of the road is the distance between its start and end point. If one of the directions of the carriageway is longer than the other then the length is calculated as the sum of half of the distances of each direction of the carriageway from first entry point to last exit point.
In 2022, the total length of U.S. urban and rural public roads and streets was between *** and *** million miles. Rural mileage made up over ** percent of the country's total mileage.

The number of vehicle-miles traveled on all roads in the United States decreased by some 1.55 percent to approximately 3.17 trillion in 2022. Records for 2019 reported the highest annual level on record, at just under 3.3 trillion vehicle-miles traveled.
Complete dataset of all 29,850 USA cities Roads network as a graph in the shp format. The extracts follow 2016 official USA cities boundaries. Graph are identified by their [city_code].shp. Cities code are provided by the Tiger Census Dataset. Graph have been created by extracting all openstreetmap.org (osm) maps for each USA Cityextracting the graph from osm extract using the policosm python github librarysimplifying the graph by removing all degree two nodes to retain only a workable transportation network. Original road length is retained as an attribute Nodes includes latitude and longitude attributes from WGS84 projection Edges includes length in meter (precision < 1m), tag:highway value from osm See policosm on github for more informations on extractions algorithm

Data in table tells us about the year-wise total and surfaced road length of various types of roads like National highway, State highway, Other PWD roads, rural roads, urban roads and project roads in all the States and U.T.s of India. Since 2016, Other PWD roads that were part of district roads have been divided into district roads and rural roads built by state PWD/RWD. Further, Rural Roads exclude roads built under JRY. Further, All National Highways are surfaced. Data is as of 31st March for each year.

[COVERAGE] The road network is all roads in a given area. LENGTH OF MOTORWAYS A motorway is a road, specifically designed and built for motor traffic, which does not serve properties bordering on it, and which: a) is provided, except at special points or temporarily, with separate carriageways for traffic in two directions, separated from each other, either by a dividing strip not intended for traffic, or exceptionally by other means; b) has no crossings at the same level with any road, railway or tramway, or footpath; c) is especially sign-posted as a motorway and is reserved for specific categories of road motor vehicles. LENGTH OF ROADS A road is a line of communication (travelled way) open to public traffic, primarily for the use of road motor vehicles, using a stabilised base other than rails or air strips. Paved roads and other roads with a stabilised base, e.g. gravel roads, are included. Roads also cover streets, bridges, tunnels, supporting structures, junctions, crossings and interchanges.

This collection contains measures of primary and secondary roads (highways and main arteries) per United States census tract and per United States ZIP code tabulation area (ZCTA) in 2010 and 2020. These measures may be used as a proxy for heavy traffic, high traffic speeds, and impediments to walking or biking. Variables include: counts of primary, secondary, and all streets per tract and per ZCTA; total length of primary, secondary, and all streets per tract and per ZCTA; ratio of primary and/or secondary road counts to all roads; and ratio of length of primary/secondary roads to all streets.
In 2023, the highway network in the United States had a total length of around 4.2 million statute miles. One statute mile is approximately equal to 5,280 feet. The United States has one of the most extensive road networks worldwide.
