The M1 highway (Romanian: Drumul național M1) is a road in Moldova connecting the border with Ukraine near Dubău to the border with Romania at Leușeni, passing through Chișinău and Dubăsari.

It is 154 km (96 mi) long and forms part of the European routes E58, E581 and E584.

[2] Immediately after the roundabout, the road leaves the separatist-controlled territory, then heads south-west towards Chișinău, where it has a complex interchange with the M2 and M5 highways in the northern part of the capital city.

[2][3] The road then forms Chișinău's north-western bypass as it reaches the intersection with the R6, which links Ialoveni to the M1 highway.

[6] The road is thought as the main connection between Chișinău and Bucharest and other Romanian cities and further in the European Union as well.
