Roads in Ukraine
Currently in Ukraine there are two types of highways: International and national highways. The international highways (Ukrainian міжнародна дорога ) are marked with the letter M and a number. The national highways (Ukrainian національна дорога ) are denoted by the letter Н ( Cyrillic N) and a number.
The distinction between simple and highway -like -developed highways takes place only in the color of the street signs, with a blue background, a simple remote road and a green background indicates a highway- like -developed highway.
