Highways

Highways in Hungary in December 2023.
  in service
  under construction or proposed
M7 motorway near Balatonfőkajár junction.

They have one lane in each direction, signs are white-on-blue and the normal speed limit is 130 km/h, in expressways 110 km/h. According to the Állami Autópályakezelő Zrt. ("State Motorway Management Plc."), the total length of the Hungarian motorway system was 1,400.6 kilometers in 2013.[1] The construction of the Hungarian motorway system started in 1964 with M7, which finished in 1975 between Budapest and Lake Balaton. The total length of the system reached 200 km in 1980, 500 km in 1998, and 1000 km in 2007.

Road signs are white shield on blue and the abbreviation for both types of highways is M.

The main differences are that motorways feature emergency lanes and the maximum allowed speed limit is 130 km/h (81 mph), while expressways may be built without them and the speed limit is 110 km/h (68 mph).

  • Motorways are public roads with controlled access which are designated for motor vehicles only, and feature two carriageways with at least two continuous lanes each with paved emergency lanes, divided by a median. They have no one-level intersections with any roads or other forms of land and water transport. They are equipped with roadside rest areas, which are intended only for the users of the motorway.
  • Expressways share most of the characteristics of motorways, differing mainly in that:
  1. Expressways may be built without paved emergency lanes.
  2. Expressways are designated for lower speed than motorways. For example, the road curvature can be higher and the lanes are usually narrower (3.5 m vs 3.75 m).
  3. Expressways can have a single carriageway on sections with low traffic density.
