Indian highways

In India, the National Highways are the primary long-distance roadways. They are maintained by the Central Government, and the majority are two-lane (one in each direction). They span about 67,000 km, of which about 200 km are expressways. Indian highways constitute approximately 2% of the total road network of India, but carry nearly 40% of the total traffic.[1] The National Highways Development Project, currently being implemented, seeks to massively expand India's highway network.
