Road Classification
South Sudan classifies roads into four categories based on their function, traffic volume, and connectivity.
National Roads
Primary corridors connecting major cities, borders, and ports. These roads carry the highest traffic volumes and are prioritised for paving and year-round maintenance.
Examples: Juba-Nimule Road, Juba-Bor Road, Wau-Raga Road
Interstate Roads
Roads connecting state capitals and major population centres. These roads support regional trade and population movement between states.
Feeder Roads
Rural roads connecting communities to the main network. These roads are critical for agricultural access and rural development. Most are unpaved.
Urban Roads
Roads within city and town boundaries. Urban roads are managed in coordination with municipal authorities and include streets, avenues, and local access roads.
