===Roads and waterways===

Because many older streets in Kyoto are narrow, there are a significant number of one-way roads without sidewalks. [[Cycling]] is a common form of personal transportation in the city, although there are few areas set aside for bicycle parking and bicycles parked in restricted areas are impounded.

Kyoto has fewer toll-highways than other Japanese cities of comparable size. There are nine national highways in the city of Kyoto: [[Japan National Route 1|Route 1]], [[Japan National Route 8|Route 8]], [[Japan National Route 9|Route 9]], [[Japan National Route 24|Route 24]], [[Japan National Route 162|Route 162]], [[Japan National Route 171|Route 171]], [[Japan National Route 367|Route 367]], [[Japan National Route 477|Route 477]], and [[Japan National Route 478|Route 478]].

The city is connected with other parts of Japan by the [[Meishin Expressway]], which has two interchanges in the city: [[Kyoto-higashi Interchange]] (Kyoto East) in Yamashina-ku and {{Ill|Kyoto-minami Interchange|ja|京都南インターチェンジ}} (Kyoto South) in Fushimi-ku. The [[Kyoto Jūkan Expressway]] connects the city to the northern regions of Kyoto Prefecture. The [[Second Keihan Highway]] is another bypass to Osaka.

Traditionally, trade and haulage took place by waterway, and there continue to be a number of navigable rivers and canals in Kyoto. In contemporary Kyoto, however, waterways are no longer commonly used for transportation of passengers or goods, other than for limited sightseeing purposes such as excursion boats on the [[Hozu River]] and [[cormorant fishing]] boats on the [[Katsura River|Ōi River]].
