General description: The A1 is parallel to the P1. Another motorway is under construction following the route of the P8.
The P1 is the main route from Tunis to the south and further along the coast to Libya. Other P numbers increase in counter-clockwise order up to P10. Numbers between 10 and 20 are other main roads, with numbers increasing to the south. The class distinction between numbers up to 10 and over 10 is not very strict. Also, some P roads are dirt tracks while some C roads are very good.
C numbers are for less important roads.
