DN5 has been designated as a priority express road, being upgraded between 2006 and 2009.[2] Between Bucharest and Giurgiu, for the most part, it is a non-grade separated dual carriageway with no emergency lane, with entrances and exits from adjacent roads using roundabouts. Some segments (such as the Adunații-Copăceni bypass) are constructed to full motorway standard (dual carriageway, full grade-separation, wide median separation).[3]

It is one of the most transited roads in southern Romania, serving as the main connection between Romania's capital, Bulgaria and the rest of Southeast Europe.[4]
