Main road 502 (Hungary)

Main road 502 (Hungarian: 502-es főút) is a short, two-digit secondary main road in Hungary. It connects main road 4 to the M4 motorway, effectively functioning as a connecting road for the city of Szolnok. The road runs entirely within Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok county. It is relatively short in length compared to other main roads in Hungary. The road's designation indicates it was planned and constructed relatively recently, compared to the primary numbered main roads which date back further. Its purpose is primarily to facilitate easier access to the M4 motorway from Szolnok and the surrounding areas, improving traffic flow and reducing congestion on other routes. The road carries significant traffic volume, particularly during peak hours, due to its function as a crucial link between the city and the national motorway network.
