List of trunk roads in Zambia
This list shows the national public roads in Zambia . There are four classes of roads. These are firstly the trunk roads beginning with T ( trunk road ), secondly main roads beginning with M ( main road ), third district roads beginning with D ( district road ) and the fourth RD roads beginning with RD. There is left-hand traffic in Zambia .
The original responsibility for Zambia's public roads lay with the now-defunct National Roads Board . The Zambian Parliament passed three laws in 2002 (Road Traffic Act No. 11 of 2002, Public Roads Act No. 12 of 2002, National Road Fund Act No. 13 of 2002), with which the previous administrative structure was merged into three new agencies, which are subordinate to the Ministry of Transport, Works, Supply & Communications . It was not until 2005 that the new institutions actually began to function. These are therefore:
- Road Transport and Safety Agency RTSA (took over the responsibilities of the National Road Safety Council and National Transport )
- Road Development Agency RDA (took over the tasks of the Roads Department )
- National Road Fund Agency NRFA
Toll stations have been set up on some routes since 2013 . The system of road user charges has been in a test phase since then. The Road Development Agency is responsible .
