Roads

Romania’s roads are well marked. With a good map and a keen eye, you will have no problem navigating the country from one end to the other. Even on remote dirt or gravel backcountry roads, you are likely to find signs pointing you to the next town. Given Romanians’ propensity for communication, even if you get lost, merely point to the place on the map where you want to get, and you will likely be directed toward your destination.

Looking at a map , you will notice four types of roads:

A1 – Autostrada or Motorway. This is the equivalent of the freeway or interstate highway. Romania currently has one such road, running from Pitesti to Bucuresti and then to Constanta on the Black Sea. Several more motorways are in the early stages of construction.

E68 – European Road. This is a main road providing cross-country access. The road is generally of good quality and connects major cities. 

DN6 – National Road. This is also a main road, which is oftentimes the same road as a European road (E60 is also DN1)

D168 – County or local road. These roads connect smaller cities and towns, and range from good quality two-lane to one-lane dirt roads. For a motorcyclist, they tend to be the most scenic and provide access to some of Romania’s most interesting places.
