🇷🇼 Rwandan Road Network

National Roads (NR)

- These routes connect the different districts
- Tends to run through multiple provinces.
District Roads (DR)
- Starts with "DR"
- Major roads linking main localities in a District.
We will try to follow the RTDA numbering in Waze, even if sometimes the road signs have not been adapted yet. When a road sign shows an older number, It will need to be adapted in WME so the user is not confused.
