| General description:
M: Numbers M01 - M07 evolve in clockwise order around Kyjiv, beginning with the M1 to the north (the former Soviet M20). However, the M04 between Kyjiv and Znamjanka was downgraded to N01. Number M08 begins at the M06 in Rivne, and M09 - M11 evolve in anti-clockwise order around L'viv. Other main roads are numbered up to M23 (formerly M26). | ||||||
| N roads: Numbers are sequentially assigned. The 'N' is denoted as 'H' in cyrillic. | ||||||
| R roads: Numbers roughly increase from west to east. After the introduction of N numbers, more and more exceptions have come up. The 'R' is denoted as 'P' in cyrillic. | ||||||
| T: Territorial roads have 4-digit numbers. The first two digits are the oblast code, which can begin with 0. The following oblast codes are in use: | ||||||
| 01 | Autonomous Republic Krym (capital Simferopol') | |||||
| 02 | Vinnytsya | |||||
| 03 | Volyn' (capital Luts'k) | |||||

| Low numbers (Txy01 etc.) tend to be near the capital of an oblast, but there are many exceptions.
Road numbers do not change at oblast borders. Many numbers only have a relatively small section within the oblast they belong to. For example, the T2006 begins in Ternopil' oblast and connects Kremenec' with Bila Cerkva in Kyyiv oblast. Only about 10 % of the route lies in Ternopil'. | ||||||
| Road signs: Old Soviet signs are blue with white text (no other information available). | ||||||
| History:
Around 2002 the Soviet system was changed to the current system. See also CIS.
There used to be local roads with number syntax 2[KR][0-9]<1-3>.
Around 2006, the new N numbers were introduced, which replaced M and R roads. In addition, many T roads became R roads. | ||||||
