Tioga County posts a system of touring routes, using the standard pantagon shield shown above, with the numbers given in the "CR#" column below. Even numbers are east-west, and odd numbers are north-south; the numbers increase roughly from west to east across the County. Tioga County highways are also assigned section numbers, listed in the "CH#" column below. These are 3-digit numbers, with the first digit indicating the Town, as follows: 1) Barton, 2) Berkshire, 3) Candor, 4) Newark Valley, 5) Nichols, 6) Owego, 7) Richford, 8) Spencer, and 9) Tioga. The second and third digits remain the same throughout the length of each named road segment, which in turn usually corresponds to a single county touring route.

Tioga County's highway system is quite limited, comprising only the most important local through routes. By far, the majority of roads in Tioga County are town roads.

In the "Towns" column, Villages are also listed, although no county highway wholly enters any Village.
