Scheme of the highways in the Moscow area

The Russian motorway network is still under construction. There is a numbered federal trunk road network , the routes of which are usually marked with the letter "M" and a number. The part of the trunk road network that is developed as a motorway is not numbered separately. A coherent motorway network currently only exists in the Moscow region. This is made up of the Moscow ring road and the routes that branch off from it. The longest motorway is the M2, which has been expanded from Moscow to Tula and is to be extended to Oryol.

Magistrals in other regions are also partly developed as motorway-like roads , especially around metropolises such as Saint Petersburg (here in particular the new motorway ring and the main road to Wiborg), Samara , Novosibirsk , Yekaterinburg , Chelyabinsk or Kazan . In this respect, the boundaries between trunk roads, motorway-like roads and highways in Russia are more fluid than in other countries, since formally they are always main roads.
