Today primary roads on Zimbabwe are denoted with the letter "P" followed by a number indicating the specific route.

Unlike in South Africa where routes are clearly numbered and labeled as such, most roads in Zimbabwe are publicly known by their common names or destinations.

)[16] The regional organization, Southern African Development Community has its own numbered routes which usually are a combination of multiple roads across one or more member countries.

The most important part of the network is the reference roads, which are major trans-regional routes.

[17][18] ZINARA’s core business, in consultations with the minister of transport, communication and infrastructural development is fixing road user charges and collect such charges or any other revenue of the road fund.

[22] International transit tolls are collected from foreign buses and heavy goods vehicles at border posts as they enter Zimbabwe.

These cross-border charges are levied according to the distance each vehicle is to travel while inside Zimbabwe.

International transit coupons are purchased in advance in foreign currency, and the revenue is paid to ZINARA.

Local and foreign light motor vehicles, as well as on local heavy motor vehicles entering Zimbabwe except those with coupons paid in advance, are levied with the Road Access Toll at all border posts.
