* 7&nbsp;km of highway (A1 between [[Fort-de-France]] and Le Lamentin) ;
* 919&nbsp;km of departmental and national roads
* [[File:TiFoX-réserve protégée-7.jpg|thumb|Lighthouse of La Caravelle, Martinique]]1,197&nbsp;km of communal roads.

In proportion to its population, Martinique is the French department with the highest number of vehicle registrations.<ref name="collectivitedemartinique.mq">{{cite web |title=Transport – Collectivité Territoriale de Martinique |url=https://www.collectivitedemartinique.mq/transport/ |access-date=31 July 2021 |language=fr-FR |archive-date=13 August 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210813172038/https://www.collectivitedemartinique.mq/transport/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

==== Public transport ====
The [[Public transport|public]] entity "Martinique Transport" was created in December 2014. This establishment is in charge of urban, intercity passenger (cabs), maritime, school and disabled student transport throughout the island, as well as the bus network.<ref name="collectivitedemartinique.mq"/>

The first exclusive right-of-way public transport line in Martinique (TCSP), served by high service level buses between Fort-de-France and Le Lamentin airport, was put into service on 13 August 2018. Extensions to Schœlcher, Robert and Ducos are planned.

==== Ports ====
Given the insular [[nature]] of Martinique, its supply by sea is important. The port of Fort-de-France is the seventh largest French port in terms of container traffic.<ref name="geoconfluences.ens-lyon.fr">{{cite web |title=Insularité, transports et mobilités.

==== Air services ====
The island's airport is [[Martinique Aimé Césaire International Airport]]. It is located in the municipality of Le Lamentin. Its civilian traffic (1,696,071 passengers in 2015) ranks it thirteenth among French airports, behind those of two other overseas departments (Guadeloupe – Pôle Caraïbes de Pointe-à-Pitre Airport, Guadeloupe, and La Réunion-Roland-Garros Airport).<ref>{{cite web|title="Résultats d'activité des aéroports français 2015».|url=http://www.aeroport.fr/uploads/documents/Rapport-2015-v5.pdf?v2.1|url-status=live|access-date=31 July 2021|archive-date=11 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160911084818/http://www.aeroport.fr/uploads/documents/Rapport-2015-v5.pdf?v2.1}}</ref> Its traffic is very strongly polarized by [[metropolitan France]], with very limited (192,244 passengers in 2017) and declining international traffic.
