| Liberia | there is major deterioration on all highways due to heavy rains and lack of maintenance (1996 est.) |

| Malaysia | in addition to these national and main regional roads, Malaysia has thousands of kilometers of local roads that are maintained by local jurisdictions (1999) |

| Mongolia | there are also 45,862 km of rural roads that consist of rough, unimproved, cross-country tracks (2000) |
| Nigeria | many of the roads reported as paved may be graveled; because of poor maintenance and years of heavy freight traffic - in part the result of the failure of the railroad system - much of the road system is barely usable (2001) |
