A state highway , state road , or state route (and the equivalent provincial highway , provincial road , or provincial route ) is usually a road that is either numbered or maintained by a sub-national state or province . A road numbered by a state or province falls below numbered national highways ( Canada being a notable exception to this rule) in the hierarchy (route numbers are used to aid navigation, and may or may not indicate ownership or maintenance).

48-656: State highways in Kentucky are maintained by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet , which classifies routes as either primary or secondary. Some routes, such as Kentucky Route 80 , are both primary and secondary, with only a segment of the route listed as part of the primary system. Despite the name, there is no difference in signage between primary and secondary routes. All of the Interstates and parkways are also primary, but only parts of

96-484: A named route branch) Trans-Canada route marker is co-signed with a numbered provincial sign, with the provincial route often continuing alone outside the Trans-Canada Highway section. However, in the western provinces, the two parallel Trans-Canada routes are consistently numbered with Trans-Canada route markers; as Highways 1 and 16 respectively. Canada also has a designated National Highway System , but

144-552: A number and a name. In road signs and maps the number is preceded by the acronym SS, an acronym for strada statale ("state road"). The nomenclature of the state highways managed by ANAS generally follows the SS n scheme, where n is a number ranging from 1 ( Aurelia ) up to 700 (of the Royal Palace of Caserta ) depending on the date of establishment of the state highway. Newly built ANAS roads, not yet classified, are identified by

192-411: A population of at least 10,000 inhabitants are urban roads (type D and E) under the jurisdiction of the relevant comuni . The state highway that cross towns or villages with a population of less than 10,000 inhabitants are urban roads (type D and E) under the jurisdiction of the comune , subject to authorization from ANAS . The routes of some state highways derive from ancient Roman roads , such as

240-530: A population of at least 10,000 inhabitants are urban roads (type D and E) under the jurisdiction of the relevant municipalities. The state highway that cross towns or villages with a population of less than 10,000 inhabitants are urban roads (type D and E) under the jurisdiction of the municipality, subject to authorization from ANAS . State highways in India are numbered highways that are laid and maintained by state governments . Mexico 's State Highway System

288-617: A three-digit number designation, preceded by D . Provincial roads ( Turkish : İl yolu ) are secondary roads, maintained by respective local governments with the support of the KGM. The roads have a four-digit numbering grouped as two pairs, pairs are separated by a dash. First pair represents the license number of that province . State highways are generally a mixture of primary and secondary roads, although some are freeways (for example, State Route 99 in California, which links many of

336-750: Is 100 km/h, with reductions when one passes through a densely populated area. The highways in New Zealand are all state highways, and the network consists of SH 1 running the length of both main islands, SH 2–5 and 10–58 in the North Island, and SH 6–8 and 60–99 in the South Island. National and provincial highways are numbered approximately north to south. State Highway 1 runs the length of both islands. Local highways ( Korean :  지방도 ; Hanja :  地方道 ; RR :  Jibangdo ; MR :  Chipangdo ) are

384-556: Is a dual carriageway urban road with sidewalk . In Italy are called strade urbane di scorrimento . If Type D highway travels across an urban area with more than 10,000 people, it is maintained by comuni , instead of ANAS . Speed limit in Type D highways is 70 km/h (43 mph). Type E highway is a single carriageway urban road with sidewalk . In Italy are called strade urbane di quartiere . If Type E highway travels across an urban area with more than 10,000 people, it

432-490: Is a system of urban and state routes constructed and maintained by each Mexican state. The main purpose of the state networks is to serve as a feeder system to the federal highway system. All states except the Federal District operate a road network. Each state marks these routes with a white shield containing the abbreviated name of the state plus the route number. New Zealand state highways are national highways –

480-424: Is divided into provinces and territories, each of which maintains its own system of provincial or territorial highways, which form the majority of the country's highway network. There is also the national transcontinental Trans-Canada Highway system, which is marked by distinct signs, but has no uniform numeric designation across the country. In the eastern provinces, for instance, an unnumbered (though sometimes with

528-431: Is free to choose a different marker, and most states have. States may choose a design theme relevant to its state (such as an outline of the state itself) to distinguish state route markers from interstate, county, or municipal route markers. State highways (Italy) The Strade Statali ( Italian: [ˈstraːde staˈtaːli] ; sg. Strada Statale [ˈstraːda staˈtaːle] ), abbreviated SS , are

576-408: Is maintained by comuni , instead of ANAS . Speed limit in Type E highways is 50 km/h (31 mph). Type F highway is a road, which it cannot be classified as Type B , Type C , Type D and Type E . In Italy are called strade locali . An example of Type F highway is an urban road without sidewalk. If Type F highway travels across an urban area with more than 10,000 people, it

624-455: Is maintained by comuni , instead of ANAS . Speed limit in Type F highways is 90 km/h (56 mph). If Type F highway is an urban road, speed limit is 50 km/h (31 mph). The Italian state highway network has approximately 25,000 km (16,000 mi) of roads identified with the acronym SS. The body that manages these roads, with full state participation, is ANAS (National Autonomous Roads Company), founded in 1946, on

672-568: Is not a road class. The Strade Statali , abbreviated SS, is the Italian national network of state highways. The total length for the network is about 25.000 km (15.534 mi). The Italian state highway network are maintained by ANAS . From 1928 until 1946 state highways were maintained by Azienda Autonoma Statale della Strada (AASS). The next level of roads below Strada Statali is Strada Regionale ("regional roads"). The routes of some state highways derive from ancient Roman roads , such as

720-406: Is vested in the federal states of Germany. Most federal states use the term Landesstraße (marked with 'L'), while for historical reasons Saxony and Bavaria use the term Staatsstraße (marked with 'S'). The appearance of the shields differs from state to state. The term Land-es-straße should not be confused with Landstraße , which describes every road outside built-up areas and

768-565: The Italian national network of state highways . The total length of the network is about 25,000 km (16,000 mi). The Italian state highway network is maintained by ANAS . From 1928 until 1946, state highways were maintained by the Azienda Autonoma Statale della Strada (AASS). The routes of some Italian state highways derive from ancient Roman roads , such as the Strada statale 7 Via Appia , which broadly follows

816-492: The Strada statale 7 Via Appia , which broadly follows the route of the Roman road of the same name . The roads identified by the acronym NSA are also state highway as they are managed by ANAS. Nowadays, a state highway can be classified in more types, except Type A highway, which is reserved to motorways , called autostrade . The same types also are used for regional roads , provincial roads and municipal roads . Italy

864-523: The Strada statale 7 Via Appia , which broadly follows the route of the Roman road of the same name . Other examples are the Strada statale 1 Via Aurelia ( Via Aurelia ) and the Strada statale 4 Via Salaria ( Via Salaria ). Since the reforms following the birth of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861, the State took charge of the construction and maintenance of a primary network of roads for connections between

912-668: The Treaty of Paris between Italy and the Allied Powers in 1947. In 1942, with the annexation of new territories (the areas constituting the province of Ljubljana , the area merged with the province of Fiume and the areas making up the Governorate of Dalmatia ), two new roads were classified in the province of Cattaro (SS 138 and SS 139), in addition to the extension of the network in the province of Ljubljana (SS 56, SS 57 bis, SS 58 with branches, SS 58 bis and SS 58 ter), in

960-536: The U.S. Highways in Kentucky are (though every mainline U.S. Highway is at least partially primary). Due to the large size of the state highway system, only segments of routes that are part of the primary system are listed below. State highway Roads maintained by a state or province include both nationally numbered highways and un-numbered state highways. Depending on the state, "state highway" may be used for one meaning and "state road" or "state route" for

1008-462: The province of Fiume (SS 14 and SS 14 bis), and in the province of Zara and in the province of Spalato (SS 135, SS 136 and SS 137 with branches). These roads were also ceded to Yugoslavia with the Treaty of Paris in 1947. On the basis of law 126 of 1958 on public roads, the State began to classify many others, even of lesser importance, guaranteeing investments and maintenance at the expense of

1056-470: The province of Zara , Dalmatia , in present-day Croatia ). This numbering is still in use, except for modifications due to changes in route or national borders. For these first numbered roads, they always began and ended in city centers (the numbers of the state highways starting from Milan begins in Piazza Duomo ), following the ancient routes. Seven of these roads were ceded to Yugoslavia under

1104-411: The regions , and from them to the provinces ; the State kept for itself only a skeleton of fundamental roads, as well as those leading to the main border posts with other States. From a classification point of view, this has led to an extreme and confusing variety of new acronyms and street numbers, carried out independently by each local authority without a common criterion; consequently, in common usage

1152-539: The Royal Decree of 17 November 1865, n. 2633 listed the first 38 national roads. Following the works to extend the road network, the first revision of the list took place in 1884 with Royal Decree no. 2197 which now listed 90 national roads. In the following decades the State significantly invested in the construction of roads, particularly in the Southern regions, but these roads were progressively delegated to

1200-428: The State in every corner of Italy; to date, the numbering of state highways has exceeded 750. For these latter roads, the numbered roads were made to begin at the end of the town from which they started. Starting from the mid-1960s, ANAS also began to build a network of dual carriageways which often flanked or completed the routes of the state highways, but did not formally replace them. These roads, initially called in

1248-458: The acronym NSA, an acronym for nuova strada ANAS ("new ANAS road"). In road signs the alphanumeric acronym is enclosed in a blue rectangle with a white acronym. State highway classification is an administrative classification. The Italian traffic code defines roads as such that: State highways can be technically defined as main extra-urban roads (type B road) or as secondary extra-urban roads (type C road). State highways that cross towns with

1296-443: The ashes of the old AASS (Autonomous State Roads Company) which in turn was established in 1928. Due to urbanization processes, it has abandoned some sections of state highways, following the their acquisition by the interested comuni , who now take care of their maintenance. In Trentino-Alto Adige , the management of state highways has been delegated to the autonomous provinces of Trento and Bolzano since 1998 in application of

1344-496: The changes made by the legislative decree of 2 September 1997, n. 320. With the legislative decree of 31 March 1998, n. 112, implemented by the Prime Ministerial Decree. of 21 February 2000, many roads, or sections of road, were transferred from the national road property to the regional property, relieving ANAS of their management. Most regions have handed over the management of downgraded state highways to

1392-644: The cities of the Central Valley , Route 128 in Massachusetts, or parts of Route 101 in New Hampshire). Each state has its own system for numbering and its own marker. The default marker is a white circle containing a black sans serif number (often inscribed in a black square or slightly rounded square), according to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). However each state

1440-495: The end of the 1980s, and in some states, some less important National Routes were downgraded to State Routes. Each state has or had its own numbering scheme, but do not duplicate National Route numbers in the same state, or nearby routes in another state. As with the National Routes and National Highways, State Routes are being phased out in most states and territories in favour of alphanumeric routes. However, despite

1488-446: The expansion desires of competing public bodies. The provinces were pushing to receive management of all the remaining national roads, while the engineers proposed a reinvestment in a network of roads directly managed by the state. A first step was taken with Royal Decree no. 2056 of 15 November 1923, which further reorganized the classification of roads. The list of 118 roads began with the national road 1 Padana Superiore and ended with

1536-508: The fact that Victoria has fully adopted alphanumeric routes in regional areas, state route numbers are still used extensively within the city of Melbourne as a part of its Metropolitan Route Numbering Scheme . Brazil is another country that is divided into states and has state highways. For example, the longest highway in the state of São Paulo , the Rodovia Raposo Tavares , is designated as SP-270 and SP-295 . Canada

1584-505: The foundation of the Azienda Autonoma Statale della Strada (AASS) (law 17 May 1928, n. 1094, Official Gazette n. 127 of 05/31/1928); it then became ANAS in 1946. With the establishment of the AASS, for the first time there was a body that dealt exclusively with the state's highways; at the same time, 137 state highways were established, mostly taking up and renumbering the 118 roads of the previous decree, from SS 1 ( Via Aurelia ) to SS 137 (in

1632-480: The main cities; in 1865 the Lanza law introduced the classification of roads between national, provincial and municipal (see Annex F, art.10) and the Royal Decree of 17 November 1865, n. 2633 listed the first 38 national roads. Italian state highways are identified by a number and a name. In road signs and maps the number is preceded by the acronym SS, an acronym for strada statale ("state road"). The nomenclature of

1680-437: The most disparate ways, were subsequently cataloged under the name of new road ANAS (NSA), also followed by a progressive number. Over time, many of the new ANAS roads were then reclassified as state highways, either as a new route of an existing state highway, or as a new state highway in its own right with a new number. In 2001, as a consequence of the autonomist reforms of the late 1990s, many state highways were handed over to

1728-498: The national road 118 in Sardinia . The ban on overlapping with railway routes also fell, giving rise to the progressive replacement of rail transport with road transport. However, the 1923 reform did not resolve the issue of competences, and was in fact not implemented. The growing centralization of power of the fascist regime however led to the definitive affirmation of the centralist management model, which culminated in 1928 with

1776-482: The next important roads under the National highways . The number has two, three, or four digits. Highways with two-digit numbers routes are called State-funded local highways. State roads ( Turkish : Devlet yolu ) are primary roads, mostly under the responsibility of General Directorate of Highways (KGM) except in metropolitan city centers where the responsibility falls into the local government. The roads have

1824-632: The other. In some countries such as New Zealand , the word "state" is used in its sense of a sovereign state or country. By this meaning a state highway is a road maintained and numbered by the national government rather than local authorities. Australia 's important urban and inter-regional routes not covered by the National Highway or National Route systems are marked under the State Route system. They can be recognised by blue shield markers. They were practically adopted in all states by

1872-399: The provinces, causing a reduction of the extension of the national road network and a strong increase of the provincial road network . Furthermore, the road network was considered complementary to the railway network , on which long-distance traffic travelled, and for a long time there was a ban on classifying roads on routes already served by the railway as national roads. The extension of

1920-436: The provinces. Friuli-Venezia Giulia , Lazio and Veneto have created their own companies for the management of former state highways (Friuli-Venezia Giulia Strade, ASTRAL and Veneto Strade respectively). Having acquired the former state highways, the provinces and regions proceeded to change their numbering, sometimes limiting themselves to replacing SS with SR ( regional roads ) or with SP ( provincial roads ), maintaining

1968-428: The right, no cross-traffic and no at-grade intersections. In Italy are called strade extraurbane principali . Beginning of Type B highway is marked by a traffic sign . Speed limit in Type B highways is 110 km/h (68 mph). Type C highway is a single carriageway road. In Italy are called strade extraurbane secondarie . Speed limit in Type C highways is 90 km/h (56 mph). Type D highway

2016-406: The road network was necessary in 1911 to update the list drawn up almost 30 years earlier, formalized with Royal Decree no. 221 which now included 84 national roads. The advent of the automobile, which required the availability of fast and well-paved roads, changed the situation, and in the immediate post-war period it was decided to revisit the issue. Two opposing theories faced each other, linked to

2064-492: The roads have often continued to be identified as "former state highway number...". Since 2018, faced with the difficulty of many local authorities in guaranteeing the maintenance of former state highways, a "road return" project was launched which involves the return of almost 7,000 km of roads to ANAS, staggered in two phases. Consequently, these roads have once again assumed the pre-existing state highway numbering already removed in 2001. Italian state highways are identified by

2112-545: The route of the Appian Way . Other examples are the Strada statale 1 Via Aurelia ( Via Aurelia ) and the Strada statale 4 Via Salaria ( Via Salaria ). Since the reforms following the birth of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861, the State took charge of the construction and maintenance of a primary network of roads for connections between the main cities; in 1865 the Lanza law introduced the classification of roads as national, provincial or municipal (see Annex F, art.10) and

2160-532: The state highways managed by ANAS generally follows the SS n scheme, where n is a number ranging from 1 ( Aurelia ) up to 700 (of the Royal Palace of Caserta ) depending on the date of establishment of the state highway. Newly built ANAS roads, not yet classified, are identified by the acronym NSA, an acronym for nuova strada ANAS ("new ANAS road"). State highways can be technically defined as main extra-urban roads (type B road) or as secondary extra-urban roads (type C road). State highways that cross towns with

2208-468: The system is completely unsigned, aside from the Trans-Canada routes. This makes Canada unique in that national highway designations are generally secondary to subnational routes. In Germany , state roads ( Landesstraßen or Staatsstraßen ) are a road class which is ranking below the federal road network ( Bundesstraßen ). The responsibility for road planning, construction and maintenance

2256-530: The word "state" in this sense means "government" or "public" (as in state housing and state schools ), not a division of a country. New Zealand's state highway system is a nationwide network of roads covering the North Island and the South Island . As of 2006, just under 100 roads have a "State Highway" designation. The NZ Transport Agency administers them. The speed limit for most state highways

2304-600: Was the first country in the world to build motorways reserved for fast traffic and for motor vehicles only. The Autostrada dei Laghi ("Lakes Motorway"), the first built in the world, connecting Milan to Lake Como and Lake Maggiore , and now parts of the Autostrada A8 and the Autostrada A9 , was devised by Piero Puricelli and was inaugurated in 1924. Type B highway is a dual carriageway with at least two lanes for each direction, paved shoulder on
