Wikipedia: Roads in Kenya
Map of Kenya showing main roads and railways

Road transport in Kenya consists a total of 63,265 kilometres (39,311 mi) of interurban roads, 8,933 km of which are paved and 54,332 km unpaved.
There is over 100,000 kilometres (62,000 mi) of rural roads and 14,500 kilometres (9,000 mi) of urban roads, creating a total road infrastructure of 177,765 kilometres (110,458 mi) (2004).

Kenya has one of the best paved highway networks and some of the busiest roads south of the Sahara, but maintenance is often neglected.

The road system is constituted by three classified road types, as well as unclassified roads and tracks.
