Editing Lima (section)

===Public===
Lima's road network is based mostly on large [[Dual carriageway|divided avenues]] rather than [[Controlled-access highway|freeways]]. Lima operates a network of nine freeways – the Via Expresa Paseo de la Republica, Via Expresa Javier Prado, Via Expresa Grau, Panamericana Norte, Panamericana Sur, Carretera Central, Via Expresa Callao, Autopista Chillon Trapiche and the Autopista Ramiro Priale.<ref name="arqandina.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.arqandina.com/pages/p4/f413.htm |title=Periodo 1945–1965 – Galería de Fotos y Planos |publisher=Arqandina.com |access-date=8 July 2009 |archive-date=20 February 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090220160606/http://arqandina.com/pages/p4/f413.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref>

According to a 2012 survey, the majority of the population uses public or collective transportation (75.6%), while 12.3% uses a car, taxi or motorcycle.<ref name="limacomovamos.org" />

The urban transport system is composed of over 300 transit routes<ref name="proinversion.gob.pe" /> that are served by buses, microbuses and combis.

Taxis are mostly informal and unmetered; they are cheap but feature poor driving habits. Fares are agreed upon before the passenger enters the taxi. Taxis vary in size from small four-door compacts to large vans. They account for a large part of the car stock. In many cases they are just a private car with a taxi sticker on the windshield. Additionally, several companies provide on-call taxi service.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.frommers.com/destinations/lima/2868020156.html |title=Lima: Planning a Trip: Getting Around |publisher=Frommers.com |date=28 July 2008 |access-date=8 July 2009}}</ref>
