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.
