List of National Roads in Bolivia
Appearance
The Bolivian National Road network (Spanish: Rutas Nacionales) comprises 16,029 km (as of 2006) of roadway across all of Bolivia.
The National Road network was established with the Decreto Supremo 25.134 of 21 August 1998, with a length of 10,401 kilometres, consisting of 17 national roads.[1] Today, there are 45 national roads in total. Route 16 still does not exist continuously, as such measurements of its length are estimated.[2]
Bolivia's National Road network is 28% (4,514 km) paved, 40% (6,455 km) gravel, and 32% (5,060 km) compacted and beaten earth.[2]
Since the climate, especially in the Bolivian lowlands, is characterized by extended
road traffic collisions, and fatalities
commonplace.
