Maltese roads are, by British standards, generally in very poor condition, and decidedly unsuited for fast cruising. However, they are enough for local traffic. Speed limits are standard throughout the islands as you can see in Malta roads map: 40 kph (25 mph) in towns, and just 65 kph (40 mph) in rural areas. However, the state of the roads is such that localised limits of 30 kph (18 mph) are common, even on some stretches of rural dual-carriageway, and effective speeds are not much higher in many other places. However, the small scale of the islands means that low speeds are not a problem: Malta is only 28km from end to end, and Gozo is less than 14 km long, so even long trips are still fairly short.
The quality of the road network has improved a lot during these last 25 years. In recent years EU funds have also been utilised to improve the main arterial road networks to a higher standard. In built-up areas the speed limit is of 50 Km/h or 31 mph as its shown in Malta roads map. On the main roads it is between 60km/h to 80km/h (37 mph to 50mph). Toll roads do not exist anywhere on the island. Malta drives on the left hand-side of the road as in the United Kingdom and other few countries. Do overtake from the right side. Here in Malta we use right-hand drive cars and we drive on the left hand side of the road. You will have to get used to it unless you are from the UK. Distances are very short so driving from one place to another should not take you long.
Infrastructure Malta launched Mriehel Underpass Project in 2021, to build a 60-metre tunnel connecting L-Imdina Road with the Mriehel Bypass, at the junction next to the Malta Financial Services Authority offices. The agency is working to open this underpass to commuters at the end of September, and to finish building the new roundabout above it by the end of the year. In February, Infrastructure Malta completed the excavation of this cut-and-cover underpass and started erecting 290 precast concrete panels to form its walls as its mentioned in Malta roads map. On Tuesday, workers lifted in place the first of 16 prestressed concrete beams, each weighing six tonnes, that will support the tunnel roof.

In Malta you will not find any motorways or highways. Main roads are the highways of Malta. They are dual carriageway (2 lanes on either side). Toll roads do not exist anywhere on the island. Stretching six kilometres from Saqqajja Hill, Ta' Qali to the Ingiered area of Marsa, L-Imdina Road is one of the longest arterial roads in Malta. It connects Attard, Rabat and other central and northern localities of the Island with Zebbug, Qormi, Marsa and Luqa as you can see in Malta highway map.
Malta highways from the southernmost point to the northernmost point are these as its shown in Malta highway map: Triq Birżebbuġa in Birżebbuġa, Għar Dalam Road and Tal-Barrani Road in Żejtun, Santa Luċija Avenue in Paola, Aldo Moro Street (Trunk Road), 13 December Street and Ħamrun-Marsa Bypass in Marsa, Regional Road in Santa Venera/Msida/Gżira/San Ġwann, St Andrew Road in Swieqi/Pembroke, Malta, Coast Road in Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq, Salina Road, Kennedy Drive, St. Paul Bypass and Xemxija Hill in San Pawl il-Baħar, Mistra Hill, Wettinger Street (Mellieħa Bypass) and Marfa Road in Mellieħa.
Malta highway surface quality varies enormously. Many minor roads are still completely unsurfaced, and even some major roads seem to have never seen a road-roller. On many roads, you are lucky if the potholes have all been filled in. At the other end of the scale, there are some roads where there is no trace of an original smooth surface as its mentioned in Malta highway map: The asphalt has been laid a shovelfull at a time, and flattened only by the passage of traffic over the years. It is like driving on rough cobblestones, but far worse. In towns, good roads are often polished smooth by the passage of traffic, with tyres squealing on corners. There is an ongoing programme of grinding the surface back to a reasonable quality.
