Highway system in Taiwan

Highways in Taiwan are classified into five types:

Level Name Chinese Taiwanese Mandarin Taiwanese Hokkien Taiwanese Hakka Numbers Notes
1 National Highways 國道 Guódào Kok-tō Koet-tho 1 – 10 Labeled as Freeway
2 Provincial Highways 省道 Shěngdào Séng-tō Sén-tho 1 – 39, 61 – 88 The latter are labeled as Expressway
3 County and City Highways 縣道、市道 Xiàndào, Shìdào Koān-tō, Chhī-tō Yen-tho, Sṳ-tho 101 – 205
4 Township and District Roads 鄉道、區道 Xiāngdào, Qūdào Kiong-tō, Khu-tō Hiông-tho, Khî-tho
5 Special Roads 專用公路 Zhuānyòng Gōnglù Choan-iōng Kong-lō͘ Chôn-yung Kûng-lu

The system does not apply to other parts of Taiwan, namely Kinmen and Lienchiang counties, and islands in the South China Sea.

Expressways in Taiwan may be controlled-access highways similar to National Freeways or limited-access roads. Most have urban roads and intra-city expressways (as opposed to Highway system) status, although some are built and maintained by cities.
