Ghana road network
Encyclopedia
The Ghana Road Network is maintained by the Ghana Highway Authority, which was established in 1974 to develop the country's trunk road network totaling 13,367 km. This makes up 33% of Ghana's total road network of 40,186 km. The road system consists of National roads, Regional roads, and Inter-Regional roads, all of which link major popular centers in Ghana.

National Roads

National Roads in Ghana are trunk roads, forming the major routes between major urban centers. Essentially, they are the backbone of the backbone of the Ghana road network. This category of roads is designated with the letter N followed by a number indicating the specific route. Odd-numbered routes run east to west, while even-numbered routes run north to south.
