There is only one 1-digit number (2). Most 2-digit numbers begin with 5, 6 or 7. All 3-digit numbers begin with 4 or 5: only a tiny part of Slovakia is in zone 4, the rest of the country is zone 5 as you can see in Slovakia roads map. This is because most of the other numbers are in the Czech Republic, and the former Czechoslovak system has only been changed slightly in Slovakia. Roads with 1- and 2-digit numbers are known as First class roads (cesty I. triedy), 3-digit numbers as Second class roads (cesty II. triedy) and local roads with 4-digit numbers as Third class roads (cesty III. triedy). In the Czech Republic, D, R and other roads formed an integrated system. When a new road was built, the number of the old road was increased by 600. In Slovakia, routes x and Dx could be parallel, and they still can, see motorways above. In the late 1990, some numbers in the Czech Republic were replaced by numbers that also exist in Slovakia (59 - 70). Therefore one can no longer say that these countries have one common system.
The network of specified road sections is defined by Decree of the Ministry of Transport, Construction and Regional Development of the Slovak Republic No. 228/2020 Coll. defining the sections of motorways, expressways and 1st and 2nd class roads subject to toll collection as amended. The network map of Slovakia roads also displays the specified road sections located inside the built-up areas of cities and municipalities. You can find it in printed form at any customer point. It is available for download in the Documents for download section. The speed limit on the roads in town or city is 50km/h, out of town 90 km/h and on the motorway 130 km/h.
There are a lot of mountains pass overs on the roads from the south to the north of Slovakia. Very problematic (usually causing snarl-ups) are mountains Donovaly (Ruzomberok – Banska Bystrica), Velky Sturec (Martin – Banska Bystrica) and Certovica (Liptovsky Mikulás – Brezno) as its shown in Slovakia roads map. Try to avoid them in winter if possible. Tolls in Slovakia are charged based on the weight of the vehicle. Vignette is necessary for vehicles with a maximum allowed weight of less than 3.5 tonnes for driving on most motorways and expressways in Slovakia.

The highways in Slovakia are divided into motorways and expressways. These dual carriageways are managed by the state-owned National Motorway Company of Slovakia - NDS, established in 2005 as you can see in Slovakia highway map. The first modern highway in Slovakia was the motorway towards Prague whose construction was started on May 2, 1939. NDS is currently managing and maintaining 225.25 km of motorways (diaľnice) and 97.86 km of expressways (rýchlostné cesty). The motorways in Slovakia, Slovak: Diaľnice (abbr. D), are defined as two-lane motorways in each direction, with emergency lane. The speed limit is 130 km/h or 80 mph. Their road signs are white on red: Motorway D1, Motorway D2, Motorway D3, Motorway D4.
There are four main highways (all paid) in Slovakia. The expressways in Slovakia, Slovak: rýchlostné cesty (abbr. R), are defined as dual carriageways with lower standards than that of a motorway, but with the same restrictions. The speed limit is 130 km/h or 80 mph as its shown in Slovakia highway map. Their road signs are white on red: Expressway R1, Expressway R2, Expressway R3, Expressway R4, Expressway R5, Expressway R6, Expressway R7. Highway vignette can be purchased at eznamka.sk, by mobil app, in vending machines at border crossings and at petrol stations. Vignette for the trailer is only necessary if the total weight of the combination of the vehicle with the trailer exceeds 3.5 t.
For driving on Slovak highways and expressways is mandatory to have a valid motorway vignette for vehicles weighing up to 3.5 t as its shown in Slovakia highway map. Vignettes are sold with a validity period of 10 days, 30 days, 365 days and one year.

Trailers of categories O1 and O2 which are part of a combination of vehicles with a total mass of more than 3,5 t shall, like the first vehicle in the combination, have a valid vignette. Vehicles with a maximum permissible mass exceeding 3.5 t are charged for passage of 1-3rd class roads also and for the payment of toll charges is designed an on-board unit.
