France has a substantial road network, comprising over a million kilometres of roads and streets. However, the national road network accounts for only 2% of this total. One third of the remainder is managed by the Departments (101 numbered administrative divisions), while the other two thirds are managed by the Communes (municipalities, of which France has 35,000).
