context_page_description: Controlled-access highways in Hungary are dual carriageways, grade separated with controlled-access, designed for high speeds. The legislation amendments defined two types of highways: motorways and expressways.
  The main differences are that motorways have emergency lanes and the maximum allowed speed limit is 130 km/h, while expressways may be built without them and the speed limit is 110 km/h.
  According to the Állami Autópályakezelő Zrt., the total length of the Hungarian motorway system was 1,491 kilometers in 2018. The construction of the Hungarian motorway system started in 1964 with M7, which finished in 1975 between Budapest and the Lake Balaton. The total length of the system reached 200 km in 1980, 500 km in 1998 and 1000 km in 2007.
  The Hungarian motorway network currently comprises 13 motorways, 13 expressways, of which 19 of them are at least partially operational, and 11 have been completed as of August 2020.
