Guang'an boasts an extensive highway network. Both the total mileage and average density of highways within the city exceed national and Sichuan provincial averages. The Guang'an-Linshui section of the Guang'an-Chongqing Expressway is open to traffic, and all remaining sections were fully completed before 2004. It takes only one hour to drive from Guang'an to Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport for air travel connections. After the Guang'an-Nanchong section of the Shanghai-Chengdu Expressway opened to traffic in 2004, the drive from Guang'an to Chengdu takes merely 2.5 hours. The planned Nanchong-Chongqing Expressway will pass through Wusheng County. Upon completion, every county and district under Guang'an will be connected by expressways, and the city will be integrated into the Chengdu-Chongqing-Shanghai tourism and economic belt.

Three national highways run through Guang'an: G210, G212 and G330. Four provincial highways pass through the region, including the Shizhu-Nanchong route, plus two county highways: Yuechi-Wusheng Road and Guang'an-Wusheng Road. Interlaced national, provincial and county highways form a transportation framework known as "Three Horizontal Arteries and Four Vertical Arteries", with railways and highways as its backbone. Nowadays, it takes at most 30 minutes by car from downtown Guang'an to any county or district under its jurisdiction, which is known locally as the "Half-Hour Access Project".
