1876年
日本の道路: 全国の道路を国道・県道・里道に分け、それぞれを1等から3等に級別。
On June 8, 1876, Japan instituted a standardized road classification system, categorizing routes as national, prefectural, or village roads across three grades.
Continuing Meiji-era modernization efforts, the Japanese government formalized road classification on June 8, 1876. Roads were divided into kokudō (national), kendō (prefectural), and ridō (village) networks, each further ranked from first to third class based on importance and traffic. This system improved transportation planning, maintenance funding, and postal services nationwide. Standardized routes facilitated commerce, tourism, and military mobilization, strengthening economic integration and national unity. The framework laid on this day underpins Japan’s modern highway network and underscores the era’s commitment to infrastructure development.
