Map of the Estonian national route network (riigimaanteed)
Highways in Estonia are the main transport network in Estonia. The Estonian national classification includes several classes of highways:[1]
Main road (põhimaantee) – highway, that connects the capital with other large cities, connects large cities and the capital with major ports, railway points and border crossings.
Basic road (tugimaantee) – highway, that connects towns with other towns and main routes.
Secondary road (kõrvalmaantee) – highway, that connects towns with boroughs, connects boroughs and villages and all of the previous with main- and support routes.
Other than these, the national road classification includes the following categories which may also be referred to as highways in a general sense, with decreasing order of priority (and applicability of the term highway):
Ice road (jäätee) - temporary road made on a frozen body of water for vehicles and pedestrians
Connecting road (ühendustee) – constructed for traffic flow on the intersections/interchanges of highways
Other (muu) – other roads in the list of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications
Main and support routes are designated with 1-2 digit numbers. Side routes are designated with 4-5 digit numbers, where the first two digits is a county code (11-25 for 15 counties), followed usually by three (rarely two, used for leftover spurs) digits. While there is no official prefix for road numbers in Estonia, T (tee) is used widely unofficially.
In addition to state highways, there are 23 920 km of local roads and around 18 398 km of private and forest roads. The total Estonian road network is estimated to be almost 59 thousand km.[2]
