A directional road sign in the Republic of Ireland on an other road (not a national road) at Portlaoise, County Laois, including patches for national roads and advance warning of bridge height restrictions.

Ireland, both north and south of the border, has an extensive network of roads. Northern Ireland has had motorways since the 1960s^{[citation needed]} and well developed primary routes. With the advent of the Celtic Tiger and European Union funding, most national roads in the Republic continue to be upgraded. In the 1990s the Republic went from having only a few short stretches of motorway in the country, to partly expanding the motorways on most major routes. This is part of a National Development Plan. Road construction in Northern Ireland (where the road infrastructure was traditionally of a far higher standard than the Republic) has proceeded at a slower pace in recent years (To the extent that some even claim that it has now been overtaken by the Republic), although a number of important bypasses and upgrades to dual carriageway have recently been completed or are about to begin.

Signposts in Northern Ireland denote distances in miles, while all signposts placed in the Republic since the 1970s use kilometres (a remnant of old signposts in the Republic still displaying distance in miles are due to be replaced with signs displaying distance in kilometres in the near future). Currently miles per hour speed limits are used north of the border. Those in the Republic use kilometres per hour (km/h) introduced on January 20, 2005 (see Road speed limits in the Republic of Ireland). This involved the provision of 58,000 new metric speed limit signs, replacing 35,000 imperial signs and adding 23,000 new signs.

Roads in the Republic of Ireland

The Republic's motorway network is focused on Dublin, and is currently being extended to other major cities as part of the National Development Plan. Dublin has also been the focus of other major projects, such as the East-Link and West-Link toll-bridges, as well as the Dublin Port Tunnel. Other cities and towns have however had by-pass projects, some of which are still underway or in planning as of 2004. The Jack Lynch Tunnel under the River Lee in Cork was another major project outside Dublin, and a fourth crossing at Limerick under the River Shannon has just commenced construction, (as of 2006).

Motorways

New Naas Road (N7), non-Motorway high-grade dual

In the Republic of Ireland, the most major roads are motorways; indicated by the prefix "M" followed by one or two digits. The motorway network is focused on Dublin. The first motorway section in the state was the M7 Naas by-pass, which opened in 1983. As of 2005, all motorways in Ireland are part of, or form, national primary roads. These routes are numbered in series, using numbers from 1 to 33 (and separately from the series - 50), which apart from on motorways, carry an "N" prefix. At the end of 2004 there were 191.7 km of motorway in the Republic and 285.5 km of dual-carriageway. NRA source. This was extended, by the end of 2005, to 246.6 km of motorway and 297 km of dual-carriageway. [1]. As of Jan 2006 24 km of new motorway is currently under construction along with 91.4 km of new dual-carriageway. In addition, 17.4 km of dual-carriageway has been reconstructed, specifically 15 km between Naas and Dublin (see thumbnail) and 2.4 km on the Cork Southern Ring road. [2]. Most of the new dual carriageways being built in Ireland are built to motorway standards with full grade separation and controlled access, however to accommodate slow moving vehicles e.g. tractors, the motorway designation [M] is not used. It was revealed in August 2006, that the NRA were considering reclassifying around 500 kilometres of high-quality dual carriageway to motorway, dramatically increasing the motorway network in Ireland. [3]. On 5 March 2007 a Bill was published, the Roads Bill 2007, which if passed by the Oireachtas will make this reclassification possible by Ministerial order.

Route number inheritance

In the Republic of Ireland, motorways use the route number of the national road they form part (or possibly in the future, all) of, albeit with the M prefix rather than N. In most cases, the motorway has been built as a by-pass of a road previously forming the national road (e.g. M7 by-passing roads previously forming the N7) - the by-passed roads are reclassified as regional roads, although updated signposting may not be provided for some time, and adherence to signage colour conventions is lax. Regional roads have black-on-white directional signage, national roads use white-on-green (with the route numbers in amber). Motorways in the Republic of Ireland have white-on-blue signage (see thumbnail). Destinations reached by other classes of routes should be listed on a correctly coloured "patch", except on motorways, where all signs should be blue. A Regional Road in the Republic of Ireland is a class of road not forming a major route (such as a National Primary Route, or National Secondary Route), but nevertheless forming a link in the national road network. ...

The M50, an entirely "new" (1989) national road, is an exception to the normal inheritance process - as it does not replace a road previously carrying an "N" number. The M50 was nevertheless legislated as the "N50" route (despite having no non-motorway sections, other than a very short section at Tallaght that has been subsequently subsumed) to record this national road number in the statute books. It was thereafter designated M50 due to the route being entirely motorway standard. The route also breaks the sequential numbering scheme, but 50 was deemed an easily recognisable number. It is referred to by the NRA in its "National Route Lengths 31/12/2004" publication as the N50, as the publication does not distinguish motorways from national primary roads. Instead it classifies motorways where present as the national primary road under an N designation, for example its states there is 14.21 km of the N1 in County Meath while also stating there is 14.21 km of motorway in Meath. The NRA have designated the M1, which indeed is 14.21 km in length in County Meath, as the N1 in the document (the road which was previously part of the N1 through Meath is only approximately 8.5 km long). As of 2005 N34 is the next unused national primary road designation.

An interesting anomaly occurred on the 31st May 2004 in Limerick when the N7 Parkway scheme and the N7 Limerick Southern Ring Road which is parallel to and bypasses the N7 Parkway were opened simultaneously by the Minister of Transport. The N7 Parkway scheme was labeled as such to get National road funding and within minutes of opening was immediately redesignated a regional road, so as the Minister could open the N7 Limerick Southern Ring Road.

National primary roads

This category of road has the prefix "N" followed by one or two digits. The most important routes are numbered N1-N11 ( radiate anti-clockwise from Dublin), with those in the range N12-N33 being cross-country roads. National secondary roads (see next section) are numbered under the same scheme with higher numbers. On road signage, destinations served but not on the route in question are listed in brackets, with the connecting route also listed (see thumbnail).

Northern Ireland route sections (which are classified separately according to NI schemes) are in some cases included in a theoretical complete cross-border route – for example the N3 route, which re-enters the Republic. These are listed here in brackets for completeness (and are present on southern road signage).

This list ignores the sections of route reclassified as motorway (see previous section).

Other roads

While funding for national primary roads is administered centrally by the National Roads Authority (NRA), regional and local roads are less well funded (although funding has increased in the 2000s). Local councils are responsible for these roads, as opposed to the NRA.

The 2000s decade refers to the years from 2000 to 2009. ...

National secondary roads are also indicated with a "N" prefix, though the number is higher (routes N51 and higher are secondary routes). Typically these roads are of a similar standard or higher than regional roads, many having been properly resurfaced in recent years (so a smooth surface despite many narrow winding sections). Some are of lower quality than the better regional roads, due to the localised funding for such routes. A national secondary road is a category of road in the Ireland. ...

Examples of national secondary roads are:

N52 Dundalk to Nenagh via Mullingar and Tullamore

N59 Galway - Clifden - Westport

N62 Athlone - Horse and Jockey

N69 Limerick - Tralee (Coast road via Foynes)

N71 Cork - Killarney via West Cork

N72 Killorglin - Killarney - Waterford

N74 Cashel - Golden - Tipperary Town

N81 Dublin - Tullow

N82 Clondalkin, South Dublin to N81 road (via Citywest).

N85 Ennis - Ennistymon

N86 Tralee - Dingle

Regional roads are indicated with an "R" prefix and a three-digit number, ranging from R1xx in the north-east to R7xx in the south-east of the country. One of the more important regional roads is the R113 (Belgard) road, which forms a dual carriageway between the N7 and N81 roads.

Old system

Confusingly some old road signs will still carry the previous (now obsolete) classifications, "T" for trunk road, or "L" for link road. Trunk roads were broadly equivliant to the present national roads, and link roads to the present regional roads. However there were some differences. Most notably, the present N5 was not designated as one of the major arteries under the trunk/link system. Road signs in the Republic of Ireland mostly differ from the traffic signs used elsewhere in Europe. ... A63(T) trunk road A trunk road, trunk highway, or strategic road is a major road—usually connecting one or more cities, ports, airports, etc. ... The N5 road is a National Primary Route in the Republic of Ireland, connecting Dublin with Westport and the west of Ireland. ...

Former major trunk routes:

T1 = present N1 road

T2 = present N2 road

T3 = present N4 road

T4 = present N6 road

T5 = present N7 road

T6 = Dublin - Cork (including parts of present N9 road and N8 road)

T7 = Dublin - Waterford (including most of present N11 road)

T35 = present N3 road

Unlike the present system, where each road (whether N- or R-) has a unique number, under the trunk/link system, the L-roads were numbered separately beginning with L1. These L classifications are not related to the current Lxxxx numbers for minor roads. The N1 road is a National Primary Route in the Republic of Ireland, partly connecting Dublin and Belfast along the east of Ireland (mostly as the M1 motorway). ... The N2 road is a National Primary Route in the Republic of Ireland, connecting Dublin with the border near Aughnacloy, in county Tyrone. ... The N4 road is a National primary route in the Republic of Ireland, running from Dublin to the northwest of Ireland and Sligo Town. ... The N6 road is a National Primary Route in the Republic of Ireland, connecting Dublin to Galway (by connecting from the M4 motorway at Kinnegad) across the midlands of Ireland. ... The N7 road is a National Primary Route in the Republic of Ireland, connecting Dublin and Limerick. ... The N9 road is a National Primary Road in the Republic of Ireland running from Junction 9 on the M7 motorway, located near Newbridge, County Kildare, to Waterford city. ... The N8 road is a National Primary Route in the Republic of Ireland connecting Cork with Dublin (via the N7). ... The N11 is a National Primary Route in Ireland, running along the east side of Ireland from Dublin to Wexford. ... The N3 road is a National Primary Route in the Republic of Ireland, running between Dublin, Cavan Town and the border with County Fermanagh. ...
