Dongguan has developed an impressive road infrastructure that allows visitors wishing to drive around the area a very convenient experience. Only people with a Chinese National Drivers License, issued inside China, may operate a vehicle. An international driving license is not an acceptable qualification in mainland China.

The National Highway 107 and the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Zhuhai Expressway run through the western towns from north to south. Most roads have wide lanes, clear signage, and link important areas together while still allowing space for trees, bushes, and other attractive shrubbery to line the modern roads. Since the Humen Bridge was completed and opened to traffic in 1997, Dongguan has become a hub of communications linking Guangzhou, Hong Kong and other cities on both sides of the Pearl River Delta as well as Shenzhen and Zhuhai.
