According to the World Bank, as much as 80% of goods transported within Tunisia is moved by road, which is an indication of the importance of a good road network to the country overall economic development, and specifically for its trade and commerce as you can see in Tunisia roads map. However, Tunisia is not very well connected internally by road and, moreover, much of the network is not in a good condition. The good news is that poor roads may be a thing of the past, as Tunisia has some important infrastructure projects in the pipeline. The Road Transport Corridors Project – a $230m World Bank initiative to upgrade Tunisia interior roads, is one of the big projects in the offing. The project main purpose is to improve three key road corridors that connect lagging interior regions with Tunisia coastal economic zones. In 2015, the Tunisian government signed a 20-year, $29.8m loan agreement with the Kuwaiti Fund for Arab Economic Development to cover 52% of total project costs for construction of a 15-km two-way ring road motorway surrounding the Greater Tunis area to help smooth traffic flow and ease congestion.

The A1 runs parallel to the RN1 as its shown in Tunisia roads map. The A3 is from Tunis to the west and the A4 is from Tunis to Bizerte. The RN1 is the main route from Tunis to the south and further along the coast to Libya. Other RN numbers increase in counter-clockwise order up to RN10. Numbers between 10 and 20 are other main roads, with numbers increasing to the south. The class distinction between numbers up to 10 and over 10 is not very strict. Also, some RN roads are dirt tracks while some C roads are very good. R and L numbers are for less important roads. Some local expressways in Tunis are indicated like road numbers, e.g. X2, X20 and Z4. It is not clear whether these are part of a road numbering system. RN roads were formerly GP roads (grand parcours), and regional roads were called routes de moyenne communication (MC). This was changed in 2000. Only the last letter appeared on signs. This normally also applies to the new designations but on some signs both letters appear.

Compared to other African countries, Tunisia roads are not all bad. There are some points where highways can be found even though there are not very many. What you will find are narrow tarmac roads linking major cities as its mentioned in Tunisia roads map. To access villages or smaller towns the roads are usually dirt tracks. What you always do find is a lot of traffic. The cars and trucks arefairly old and full of luggage, people etc. What this means is that accidents are common and you will usually see one while traveling from one city to another. The good thing about Tunisian roads are the spectacular landscapes. It is very common for roads run through empty stretches where all you see is a vast horizon of sand and a few trees.

As of 2004, there were 18,997 km of highway including 12,310 of paved road and 6,387 of unpaved road as you can see in Tunisia highway map. The major cities are all linked by road through the interior. In 2002, Tunisia borrowed €300 million from the European Investment Bank in 2002 to be used to improve roads in the country including €120 million towards building a motorway between Tunis and Sfax. (MEED Middle East Economic Digest, Oct 11, 2002 v46 i41 p19(1)). Route 1 in the Trans-African Highway network passes through Tunisia, linking it to North African nations including Algeria, Morocco, Libya and Egypt, and to West African nations via Mauritania. In addition a feeder road links Tunisia to the Trans-Sahara Highway from Algeria to West Africa.

The Trans-Sahara Highway has a length of about 4500 km of which about 85% has been paved as its shown in Tunisia highway map. It passes through only three countries, since Algeria and Nigeria are separated by Niger alone. However an additional 3600 km of linked highways to Tunisia, Mali and Chad are considered by planners to be integral to the Trans-Sahara Highway. All the 1200 km of the highway lying in Nigeria is part of that country national paved road network and includes nearly 500 km of four-lane divided sections, but highway maintenance is frequently deficient in Nigeria and at times parts of the road may be in poor condition, including having lost the pavement.

Tunisia is opening the tender process for a new highway project linking capital Tunis with the town of Sbikha lying to the south. The tender is being managed by Tunisia the Ministry of Equipment, while the necessary funding is being sourced through the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development (AFESD). The project will be carried out in four sections. The first 26km stretch runs from Tunis to Zaghouan as its mentioned in Tunisia highway map. The second 7km stretch links Zaghouan with El Fahs. The third stretch is for 27km of road from El Fahs to Nadhour. And the final stretch runs 27km from Nadhour to Sbikha.
