The expressway network of China, with the national-level expressway system officially known as the National Trunk Highway System (Chinese: 中国国家干线公路系统; pinyin: Zhōngguó Guójiā Gànxiàn Gōnglù Xìtǒng; abbreviated as NTHS), is an integrated system of national and provincial-level expressways in China.
In China, regional expressways are a part of the country’s national highway system. Numbered: All expressways are ordered by number. Unnumbered: All expressways are ordered by direction, starting from north or east.
The Primary routes (主线) of National Trunk Highway System Expressways of China are numbered with one- or two-digit designations. Generally, one-digit routes radiate from Beijing, for two-digit routes, odd-numbered routes under 90 run north–south, with lower numbers in the east and higher numbers in the west; even-numbered routes under 90 run east–west, with lower numbers in the north ...

Also included is additional data on the length of each country or region's controlled-access highway network (also known as a motorway, expressway, freeway, etc.), designed for high vehicular traffic. Unless otherwise noted, the data is from the United States's Central Intelligence Agency. [1] * indicates Roads in Country/Territory links.
The plan calls for the construction of 50,000 kilometres (31,000 mi) of Expressways and 160,000 kilometres (99,000 mi) of toll-free trunk highways. The expansion plans to connect every county in China by national trunk highway, and every city with a population over 200,000 by expressway. At the publication of the plans in 2013, there were still ...
In Chinese, these expressways are literally termed city high-speed roadways (Chinese: 城市快速道路), and their maximum speed is typically 80 kilometres per hour (50 mph). These are still considered expressways or controlled-access highways because of the presence of ramps, grade-separated junctions, and the absence of traffic lights. Most ...
