Editing Road hierarchy (section)

=== Czech Republic and Slovakia ===
{{Main |Highways in the Czech Republic#Road categories |Highways in Slovakia}}
This administrative hierarchy was defined under the 1961 Czechoslovak road act and adapted separately by each country after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia:
* Motorways ({{langx|cs|dálnice}}, {{langx|sk|diaľnica}}): state-owned tolled trunk highways with at least 2 lanes per direction and an emergency lane, white-on-green signage, number with a "D" prefix, 130 km/h speed limit (80–90 km/h in urban areas).
* Expressways ({{langx|cs|rychlostní silnice|link=no}}, {{langx|sk|rychlostná cesta|link=no}}): limited-access highways below motorway standard, "R" prefix. Mostly upgraded to motorway status in the Czech Republic and redefined as a motorway type in Slovakia.
* Highways ({{langx|cs|silnice|link=no}}, {{langx|sk|cesta|link=no}}): numbered roads, up to 90 km/h, with "roads for motorcars" sections. Classified as:
** First class roads ({{langx|cs|silnice I. třídy|link=no}}, {{langx|sk|cesta I. triedy|link=no}}): 1–2 digits, state-owned, blue signage.
** Second class roads ({{langx|cs|silnice II. třídy|link=no}}, {{langx|sk|cesta II. triedy|link=no}}): 3 digits, region-owned, blue signage.
** Third class roads ({{langx|cs|silnice III. třídy|link=no}}, {{langx|sk|cesta III. triedy|link=no}}): region-owned.
* Local roads ({{langx|cs|místní komunikace|link=no}}, {{langx|sk|miestna cesta|link=no}}): municipal roads in four importance classes, from major urban collectors to pedestrian/cycle paths. Include "express local roads" built to expressway standards.
* Utilitarian roads ({{langx|cs|účelová komunikace|link=no}}, {{langx|sk|účelová komunikácia|link=no}}): either closed (private) or publicly accessible (but with motor vehicles prohibited on forest roads).
