Road Density

This ranking compares how dense a country's road network is relative to its area. The raw value shows road kilometres per 1,000 km2 of area. Higher values indicate stronger connectivity and shorter detours, but the rating is logarithmic so very small territories do not distort the ranking.

How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is road-network density: total documented road kilometres divided by country area, then multiplied by 1,000. It therefore shows how many road kilometres exist per 1,000 km2 of area.

Higher road density is generally better because it gives more route options, shorter detours and better connectivity between places. It does not replace road quality; a dense network can still be poorly maintained and is therefore rated separately from road quality.

Nomadino rates this on a logarithmic scale up to 25,000 km per 1,000 km2. This gives very dense city states high values without flattening dense larger countries such as Belgium, the Netherlands or Japan into the same maximum value.

Raw data are based on maintained public road-network and area tables and checked against OpenStreetMap and regional comparators. Territories without their own complete table use documented replacement values derived from the administering state, island context and regional comparators.

A higher raw value leads to a higher rating; the logarithmic scale only limits extreme density differences.
