Their use is free, except when crossing certain structures subject to a toll. They are open to all vehicles, except on certain sections having motorway ('' autoroute'') or express road (''voie express'') status, both of these categories being reserved for motorized vehicles only. France at one time had some 30,500 km of ''routes nationales'' and publicly owned motorways, but this figure has decreased with the transfer of the responsibility for many routes to the '' départements'' so that by 2010 the total length of motorways and other national roads was around 21,100 km. By way of comparison, ''routes départementales'' in the same year covered a total distance of 378,000 km.

In 1830 the highways were renamed ''routes nationales''. In the 21st century, the French Government has downgraded many of the former routes nationales, such as the N7 from Paris to the Côte d'Azur, transferring responsibility for them to the ''départements''.
