1. National Trunk Roads: These are major roads that connect major cities and towns in Kenya. They are usually well-maintained and have multiple lanes to accommodate high volumes of traffic.

2. National Secondary Roads: These roads connect smaller towns and villages to the national trunk road network. They are usually paved but may not be as well-maintained as trunk roads.

3. County Roads: These roads are maintained by county governments and connect rural areas to towns and cities within the county. They are often unpaved and may be in poor condition.

4. Urban Roads: These roads are found within cities and towns and are maintained by local authorities. They include both major arterial roads and smaller residential streets.

5. Rural Roads: These roads connect rural areas to towns and cities and are often unpaved. They are usually maintained by local communities or the national government.

6. Feeder Roads: These roads provide access to agricultural areas and connect farms to markets and processing facilities. They are often unpaved and may be in poor condition.
