For purposes of prioritizing the development maintenance of the roads within Tagaytay, the city’s circulation system is thus, categorized into three (3) functional hierarchical classifications: national highways, arterial collector and service road classification. Based on these classifications, roads characterized as arterial are given top priority as to development/maintenance while the service roads are comparatively given low priority.

 

The major arterial road of the city is the national Highway horizontally traversing the city. Aside from being the city’s primary road, which links most of the city’s barangays, it also serves as a national thoroughfare connecting Tagaytay to the province of Laguna and to the province of Batangas.

 

Running almost perpendicular to the arterial roads are eight other arterial roads, seven of which are maintained by the national government. At present, all of these are vital road linkages in as much as they provide access to the towns and cities of the four regions/provinces, namely: Metro Manila, Laguna, Batangas and Cavite. These arterial roads are enumerated as follows:

1. Tagaytay – Manila via Silang Road (National Road)
2. Tagaytay – Ulat Sto. Domingo – Sta. Rosa Road (National Road)
3. Tagaytay – Cavite vi Mendez Road (National Road)
4. Tagaytay – General Trias via Amadeo Road (City Road)
5. Tagaytay – Talisay Road (2) (National Road)
6. Tagaytay – Laguna via Calamba Road (National Road)
7. Tagaytay – Taal Lake Road (National Road)
8. Tagaytay – Batangas via Tuy Road (National Road)

 

Meanwhile, collector and service roads are those which branch out from these arterial roads. These include all the city and Barangay roads in the area. Aside from serving as the main access of the population in the inner portion of Tagaytay, these roads particularly, the service roads are also used as farm-to-market roads by the farmers of the city.

 

As of year 2009, Tagaytay City has a total length of 139.250 kilometers. Out of this total road length, about 39.70 kms are classified as National Roads, 29.829 kms are City Roads and 69.721 kms are Barangay Roads.
