{{main|Roads in Portugal}}
In Portugal, roads are classified according to an administrative hierarchy as follows:
* Motorways ("A", {{langx|pt|autoestradas}}), most of them with [[Toll (fee)|tolls]]
* Principal routes ("IP", {{langx|pt|itinerários principais|link=no}}) – north-south and east-west country-wide roads
* Complementary routes ("IC", {{langx|pt|itinerários complementares|link=no}}) – complementary routes: roads that branch from principal routes
* National routes ("N", {{langx|pt|estradas nacionais|link=no}}) – roads used to link cities, [[Municipalities of Portugal|municipal]] seats, and other important sites that are not linked by one of the precedent road types
* Regional routes ("R", {{langx|pt|estradas regionais|link=no}}) – roads linking places of interest within the [[Administrative divisions of Portugal#Administrative regions|region]] they were built in
* Municipal roads ("M", {{langx|pt|estradas municipais|link=no}}) – roads linking different places within a municipality
