State highways are generally a mixture of primary and secondary roads, although some are freeways. Each state has its own system for numbering and its own marker. The default marker is a white, slightly rounded rectangle containing a black sans serif number (often outlined in black), according to the Uniform Traffic Code. However each state is free to choose a different marker, and nearly every state has (the exception being Lipora). States may choose a design theme relevant to its state (such as an outline of the state itself) to distinguish state route markers from interstate, county/parish, or municipal route markers. State departments of transportation are responsible for the upkeep of roads within their jurisdiction that do no explicitly belong to the municipalities or county-level jurisdictions (although the state may assume control of any road within its borders). | State highways are generally a mixture of primary and secondary roads, although some are freeways.

Verona and Santiago have the most highway mileage overall, with {{convert|116436|km|mi}} and {{convert|111708|km|mi}}, respectively, oweing to their immense populations. In both states, all roads except those owned by municipalities are the responsibility of the state DOT. In [[São Andreas]], the state provides oversight and guidelines for roadway construction, but the responsibility falls on the counties.
