Highways are an important aspect of transportation in the Grand Theft Auto series. They become particularly relevant in the large-scale maps of later versions, in particular Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. In general, highways are multiple-lane, non-stop modes of ground transportation for traveling long distances. While many highways remain unnamed, some are given specific designations, such as in GTA San Andreas.

In general, highways are interconnected, and provide smooth transitions from one region of the map to another without stopping. However, some highways are limited in their service and in the intersections they make with other major roads, and may not provide a more rapid alternative to smaller roads. Highways do, however, provide a much more rapid pace on a larger scale than small roads, allowing for greater speeds and more room for maneuvering. howvere, traffics dart back and forth at high speeds and crashing into another car will trigger a chain reaction, including the player, when driving a car or on foot. If one car rolls over, it will catch fire and then explode to all other traffics, triggering a chain reaction of explosives. It is good for acheiving speeds, but very dangerous when confronted by traffics and any fast paced traffic hits the player's car will be sent flying or be thrown off course so it is best not to use the highway if the player feels uncomfortable for fast paced, hard hitting traffics.
