The six [[List of motorways in Luxembourg|Luxembourg motorways]] cover a total distance of {{Cvt|165|km}}, linking the capital with [[Trier]] (Germany), [[Thionville]] (France) and [[Arlon]] (Belgium) as well as with [[Esch-sur-Alzette]] and [[Ettelbruck]] in Luxembourg. Luxembourg's motorways are toll free. The speed limit is normally {{Cvt|130|km/h}}, {{Cvt|110|km/h}} in rainy weather. With {{Cvt|56.8|km}} of motorway per {{Cvt|1000|km2}}, Luxembourg probably now has the highest density of motorways in [[Europe]].<ref>[http://www.autostrade.it/en/studi/dossier3.html Autostrade in Europe - Data updated to 1 January 2003] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080825005204/http://www.autostrade.it/en/studi/dossier3.html |date=25 August 2008 }}.

Luxembourg City is a major business and financial center. Many workers prefer to live in the three neighboring countries and drive to work each day. This creates huge traffic jams during peak commuting hours. Tailbacks on the E411 motorway can extend five or more kilometers into Belgium and can take an hour or more to navigate.

The remaining road network in Luxembourg accounts for a total length of {{Cvt|2730|km}}, consisting of {{Cvt|839|km}} of trunk roads (RN or ''routes nationales'') and {{Cvt|1891|km}} of secondary roads (CR or ''chemins repris'').<ref>{{Cite web|title=Routes nationales et Chemins Repris|url=http://travaux.public.lu/fr/reseau-routier/routes.html|access-date=2021-01-04|website=travaux.public.lu|language=fr}}</ref>

===Bus services===

Comprehensive bus services linking the towns and villages of the [[Grand Duchy of Luxembourg]] are contracted out to private operators by the RGTR (Régime général des transports routiers) under the Ministry of Transport.<ref>[http://www.mobiliteit.lu/mobilite/transports-publics/bus/RGTR.php Les autobus RGTR from Mobilitéits Zentral.] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090315121328/http://www.mobiliteit.lu/mobilite/transports-publics/bus/RGTR.php |date=15 March 2009 }} Retrieved 4 March 2009.</ref>

[[Luxembourg City]] is served by 250 of its own AVL (Autobus de la Ville de Luxembourg) buses transporting some 40 million passengers per year (2018).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Quatre ans pour faire rouler tous les bus de la Ville à l’électricité |url=https://www.lesfrontaliers.lu/mobilite/quatre-ans-pour-faire-rouler-tous-les-bus-de-la-ville-a-lelectricite/#:~:text=Le%20r%C3%A9seau%20de%20bus%20de,bon%20chemin%20pour%20la%20capitale. |last=Jacquemot |first=Patrick |date=2023-05-12 |website=lesfrontaliers.lu |language=fr}}</ref> 170 of these are, as with the RGTR, contracted out to private operators.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Comment Luxembourg-ville compte électrifier tous ses bus |url=https://paperjam.lu/article/comment-luxembourg-ville-compt |last=Obert |first=Mathilde |date=2023-06-05 |website=Paperjam |language=fr}}</ref> Most of these buses are in AVL colors but the owner's name is often mentioned on them in small print. Also, the letters on the license plate can give ownership away to those that know how that system works. There are 31 regular bus routes plus special bus services through the night.

The TICE or Syndicat des Tramways Intercommunaux dans le [[Esch-sur-Alzette (canton)|Canton d’Esch/Alzette]] operates several bus routes. They are centered on the city of Esch-sur-Alzette in the southeast of the country. Most are urban and suburban routes but some extend into the surrounding countryside.<ref>[http://www.tice.lu/Tramways Intercommunaux du Canton d’Esch]. Retrieved 4 March 2009.</ref>

CFL, the Luxembourg railway company, operates some 17 bus routes, mainly serving towns and villages that are no longer served by rail.<ref>[http://www.cfl.lu/CFLInternet/Espaces/01EspaceVoyageurs/06BusCFL/HorairesdeslignesdebusCFL.htm Horaires des lignes de bus CFL.] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090304173029/http://www.cfl.lu/CFLInternet/Espaces/01EspaceVoyageurs/06BusCFL/HorairesdeslignesdebusCFL.htm |date=4 March 2009 }} Retrieved 4 March 2009.</ref>

A number of smaller cities like Ettelbruck and Wiltz have started their own local services, some of which reach out to nearby villages. These services are not part of the RGTR and national tickets are not always honored.

All transport companies work together under the ''Verkéiersverbond'', which covers all bus, tram, and train routes. Starting from 29 Feb 2020, all public transport was made free throughout the territory of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, funded through general taxation. However first class tickets can still be purchased for use on the trains: a ticket valid for 2 hours is €3, whilst a one-day ticket is €6.

In the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the [[EV5 Via Romea Francigena]] runs {{convert|107|km|abbr=on}} and follows a network of dedicated cycle paths from the Belgian border, through to its cliff-top capital city, and towards the French and German borders at Schengen. The EV5 follows the following national routes in Luxembourg: PC18, PC17, PC12, PC13, the Luxembourg-City route no. 10, PC1, PC11, PC7 and PC3.

In Luxembourg, the EV5 goes through [[Strassen, Luxembourg|Strassen]], [[Luxembourg (city)|Luxembourg]], [[Hesperange]] and [[Schengen, Luxembourg|Schengen]]. It then passes through back to France.
