The Brazilian national network of highways is the second largest of the world. It is almost 2 million km long, with approximately 200,000 km of them paved, as of 2004. The name given to highway in Brazil is "rodovia" (expressway connecting two or more cities, or a far and important location, passing to an area outside any urban area, is the specification of "rodovia", in Brazil).

"Rodovias" can be both paved or unpaved (but almost every major Brazilian highway is paved), and can have separated lanes to each direction or not, and can have multiple lanes or only a single lane.

As it is in the United States, Canada or most countries in Europe, most major "rodovias" have higher speed limits than normal urban roads, although minor "rodovias", unpaved "rodovias" and sections of major "rodovias" running inside urban areas have a low speed limit in general.

Annually, it is estimated that more than 1.2 billion people travel in the Brazilian highways (against the 80 million travelling in airlines).
