[edit]

The first Nepal Road Standard introduced by the Department of roads in 1970, classified roads into 4 types.[4] In the second Nepal Road Standard introduced in 2013, the types of the roads were the same.[5]

Feeder Road Feeder Road
Distric/Panchayat Road District Road
City Road/Street Urban Road

SSRN 2004 published by the Department of roads in 2004 shows 12 National Highways and 51 Feeder roads in Nepal.[6] The SSRN 2017/18 shows that the number of national highways in the country has increased to 18 but the number of feeder roads has decreased. 3 more Highways added to National Highway later and more feeder road decreased. In 2021 SNH 2020/21 released by government shows all the previous feeder road either converted to new National Highways or cancelled the status of feeder roads and handed over to provincial governments.
