The article outlines the main characteristics of the operation of the Hungarian road network during the Soviet bloc era and the three and a half decades after its abandonment, together with its social-economic environment and its development efforts and its adaptation to the Western models. After a brief presentation of the decades preceding the democratic turnaround in Europe, it summarises the main trends from the start of market operations to the present days, divided into three stages of development. It refers to professional successes and problems, to social expectations and to the limited possibilities of the country’s economic performance and external conditions, to changes in financial financing and the organisation system of development management.
