Notes: Road vehicle-kilometers for Mexico include federal roads only. U.S. and Canadian data include all roads (both federal and local). Revised numbers are revised from original source. 1 kilometer = approximately 0.621371 miles. Road vehicle-kilometers and Road motor vehicles data for 2007-09 are not comparable to previous years due to a change in the methodology.
