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. 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 432 km of motorways (diaľnica) and 288 km of expressways (rýchlostné cesty).
