==Roads== {{main|Roads in Ukraine}} {{see also|Automotive industry in Ukraine|:Category:Bridges in Ukraine}} [[Image:Ukraine Major Roads.png|thumb|Road network in Ukraine]] [[File:Автодорога Київ — Одеса, с. Віта-Поштова 003.jpg|thumb|Section of the <span class="nowrap">[[European route E95 in Ukraine|E95]]</span> / <span class="nowrap">[[Highway M05 (Ukraine)|M05]]</span> highway near [[Kyiv]].]] The development of public roads in Ukraine is currently lagging behind the pace of motorisation in the country. During 1990-2010 the length of the highways network hardly increased at all. The density of highways in Ukraine is 6.6 times lower than in France (respectively 0.28 and 1.84 kilometres of roads per square kilometre area of the country). The length of express roads in Ukraine is 0.28 thousand km (in Germany – 12.5 thousand kilometres in France – 7.1 thousand kilometres), and the level of funding for each kilometre of road in Ukraine is around 5.5 – 6 times less than in those locations. This is due to a number of objective reasons, including that the burden of maintaining the transport network per capita is significantly higher than in European countries because of Ukraine's relatively low [[population density]] (76 people per square kilometre), low [[purchasing power]] of citizens (1/5 of the [[Eurozone]]'s purchasing capacity), relatively low car ownership and the nation's large territory. The operational condition of roads is very poor; around 51.1% of roads do not meet minimum standards, and 39.2% require major rebuilds. The average speed on roads in Ukraine 2–3 times lower than in Western countries. As of 2016, many of Ukraine's major provincial highways are in very poor condition, with an Ukravtodor official stating that 97% of roads are in need of repair. The road repair budget was set at about ₴20 billion, but [[Corruption in Ukraine|corruption]] causes the budget to be poorly spent and overweight trucks are common place rapidly causing more road damage.<ref name=foreignpolicy-20160616>{{cite news |url=https://foreignpolicy.com/2016/06/16/ukraines-broken-road-to-europe/ |title=Ukraine's Broken Road to Europe |author=Dan Peleschuk |newspaper=Foreign Policy |date=16 June 2016 |access-date=17 June 2016}}</ref> *Total: '''169,477 km''' *[[Pavement (material)|Paved]]: {{convert|164732|km|0|abbr=on}} (including {{convert|15|km|0|abbr=on}} of expressways); note – these roads, classified as "hard-surfaced", include both hard-paved highways and some all-weather [[gravel]]-surfaced roads. *Unpaved: {{convert|4745|km|0|abbr=on}} (2004) ===Principal roads=== [[Image:5.1 Russian road sign.svg|35px|left]] Motorways in Ukraine, {{convert|193|km|-1|abbr=on}} (2010): [[Kyiv]] – [[Boryspil]] | [[Kharkiv]] – [[Dnipro]] [[Image:5.3 Russian road sign.svg|35px|left]] [[State Highways (Ukraine)|State Highways]], {{convert|8,080|km|-1|abbr=on}} (2009):<br> [[M01 highway (Ukraine)|M01]] | [[Highway M02 (Ukraine)|M02]] | [[Highway M03 (Ukraine)|M03]] | [[M04 highway (Ukraine)|M04]] | [[M05 highway (Ukraine)|M05]] | [[Highway M06 (Ukraine)|M06]] | [[Highway M07 (Ukraine)|M07]] | [[Highway M08 (Ukraine)|M08]] | [[Highway M09 (Ukraine)|M09]] | [[Highway M10 (Ukraine)|M10]] | [[Highway M11 (Ukraine)|M11]] | [[Highway M12 (Ukraine)|M12]] | [[Highway M13 (Ukraine)|M13]] | [[Highway M14 (Ukraine)|M14]] | [[Highway M15 (Ukraine)|M15]] | [[Highway M16 (Ukraine)|M16]] | [[Highway M17 (Ukraine)|M17]] | [[Highway M18 (Ukraine)|M18]] | [[Highway M19 (Ukraine)|M19]] | [[Highway M20 (Ukraine)|M20]] | [[Highway M21 (Ukraine)|M21]] | [[Highway M22 (Ukraine)|M22]] | [[Highway M23 (Ukraine)|M23]] '''''Note:''''' ''State highways are important national routes and are not necessarily high-speed roads'' === Bus === {{Needs expansion|date=February 2024}} * [[Autolux Bus]]
