Three trans-African automobile routes pass through Chad:
* the [[Tripoli-Cape Town Highway]] (3)
* the [[Dakar-Ndjamena Highway]] (5)
* the [[Ndjamena-Djibouti Highway]] (6)
As at 2018 Chad had a total of 44,000&nbsp;km of roads of which approximately 260&nbsp;km are paved.<ref name=CIA/> Some, but not all of the roads in the capital [[N'Djamena]] are paved. Outside of N'Djamena there is one paved road which runs from [[Massakory]] in the north, through N'Djamena and then south, through the cities of [[Guélengdeng]], [[Bongor]], [[Kélo, Chad|Kélo]] and [[Moundou]], with a short spur leading in the direction of [[Kousseri]], Cameroon, near N'Djamena.  Expansion of the road towards Cameroon through [[Pala, Chad|Pala]] and [[Léré, Chad|Léré]] is reportedly in the preparatory stages.<ref>{{cite book |title=Global Logistics Assessments Reports Handbook: Strategic Transportation and Customs Information for Selected Countries |date=15 February 2008 |publisher=International Business Pubns USA |pages=125 |isbn=9780739766033 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0x3TrjmWAsMC&q=Cameroon+through+Pala+and+L%C3%A9r%C3%A9+road+expansion&pg=PA125 }}{{Dead link|date=February 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
