A list of roads in Kazakhstan.
Systems
current system
On 30 October 2024, a ministerial order by the government of Kazakhstan overhauled and changed the road numbering system of the country for all classifications. The previous classification and number of "highways of international" and "republican" significance (M, A, and P) were abolished and a new system was introduced.
The new system consists of two categories:
KAZ – highways of international or republican significance; providing connection between regions of Kazakhstan (and possibly to a neighboring states) KZ## – highways of international or republican significance, where the ## would be two digits corresponding to each region's code (matching license plate codes); providing connection within each of Kazakhstan (and possibly to a neighboring states)
The total length of these roads is 24,910.91 km.

The codes were in Latin, and thus, transliteration is not required (for example writing "P" as "R"). The highways of general government ("Republican") Significance were divided into three groups whose names differ by a code letter:Gemäß Anordnung der Regierung der Republik Kasachstan Nr. 1809 vom 5. Dezember 2000, mit nachfolgenden Änderungen М – highways of international significance; their names and kilometer was retained by the road network of the Soviet Union A – highways of international significance; their names were changed from the 3-digit numbering of the Soviet system, being replaced by sequential numbering, A01 to A26 P – highways of republican importance; P01 to P66
