The following motorways are designated as federal.[1][2]
All highways
that connect Moscow with the capitals of the neighbouring countries and with the administrative centres of the subjects of the Russian Federation. They are identified by the prefix "M" in the national route signs;
that are parts of the international road networks: European and Asian, identified by prefixes "E" and "AH" in the international route signs used simultaneously with the national route signs.
Some highways

that are branching and bridging roads (national prefix "A"):
access roads that lead to major transportation nodes and special objects
