The analysis of the global share of urban roads within the total road network highlights substantial differences by country. In 2023, Lithuania led with 75.33%, considerably higher than others, with Israel following at 57.28%. Slovenia and the United States were relatively aligned, both around 30%. Hungary was similar, while Sweden and New Zealand had slightly lower shares. Countries like Poland, Australia, and Mexico had shares below 20%, indicating a minimal portion of their road networks classified as urban. Finland had the lowest at 9.42%. No variations in recent years suggest a consistent trend across these nations.
Future trends to watch include the increasing urbanization in developing countries, which may drive an expansion in urban road networks. Additionally, factors such as smart city initiatives and sustainable urban mobility solutions might influence the growth of urban roads. These advances could lead to a more pronounced diversification in the share of urban roads globally.
