The National Highways of Indonesia are a network of major roads that connect various regions across the archipelago. These highways facilitate transportation and trade, linking cities, towns, and rural areas. The system plays a crucial role in the country's economy by improving access to markets and services. Managed by the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, the national highways cover thousands of kilometers, with ongoing maintenance and development projects. The roads are essential for both passenger and freight transport, contributing to the overall infrastructure and connectivity of Indonesia's diverse islands.
