Highways in Slovakia are divided into motorways (Slovak: diaľnica) and expressways (Slovak: rýchlostná cesta).
The majority of these dual carriageways are managed by the state-owned National Motorway Company of Slovakia (NDS), established in 2005. The first modern highway in Slovakia should have been built in the 1930s. The planned motorway would have connected Prague with northern Slovakia. However, the construction of Slovak motorways did not begin until the 1970s.
NDS currently manages and maintains 580 km (360 mi) of motorways and expressways.[1]
Motorways
Motorways in Slovakia (Slovak: diaľnica, abbr. D) have two separated lanes in each direction, with an emergency lane on each side. The Speed limit is 130 km/h (81 mph) with white-on-red road signs.
