The main national road network is the [[Malaysian Federal Roads System]], which spans over {{convert|41930|km|mi|abbr=on}}. Most of the federal roads in Malaysia are 2-lane roads. In town areas, federal roads may become 4-lane roads to accommodate to increased traffic. Nearly all federal roads are paved with [[Tarmacadam|tarmac]] except parts of the [[Skudai–Pontian Highway]] which is paved with [[concrete]], while parts of the [[Federal Highway, Malaysia|Federal Highway]] linking [[Klang (city)|Klang]] to Kuala Lumpur, is paved with [[Asphalt concrete|asphalt]].

Malaysia has approximately {{convert|5027|km|mi|0}} of highways and the longest highway, the [[North–South Expressway (Malaysia)|North–South Expressway]], extends {{convert|772|km|mi|0}} on the West Coast of [[Peninsular Malaysia]], connecting major urban centres like [[Kuala Lumpur]] and [[Johor Bahru]]. The [[Pan-Borneo Highway]], which connects [[Sabah]] and [[Sarawak]] on [[Borneo|Borneo Island]] of [[East Malaysia]], is undergoing a major upgrade to [[dual carriageway]] since 2015.
