Driving is on the left-hand side of the road. The major routes were established before Irish independence and consequently take little cognisance of the border other than a change of identification number and street furniture. Northern Ireland has had motorways since 1962, and has a well-developed network of primary, secondary and local routes.
The M50 was the only motorway that initially did not form part of an existing national primary route, though it was designated as the national primary route N50 in 1994. In most cases, motorways have been built as a by-pass of a road previously forming the national road (e.g. M7 by-passing roads previously forming the N7).
It forms the large majority of the N1 national primary road connecting Dublin towards Belfast along the east of the island of Ireland. The route heads north via Swords , Drogheda and Dundalk to the Northern Irish border just south of Newry in County Armagh , where it joins the A1 road and further on, the M1 motorway in Northern Ireland.
The N11 road is a national primary road in Ireland, running for 129 km (80 mi) along the east side of Ireland from Dublin to Wexford. [1] It passes close to Bray, Greystones, Wicklow, Arklow, Gorey, and Enniscorthy. Beyond Wexford, the route continues to Rosslare as the N25. The road forms part of European route E01.
The route from J3-J13 was changed to 100 km/h after the Republic of Ireland's speed limits became metric in 2005, while the Southeastern Motorway section (J13-J17) became 120 km/h. The Airport Motorway-Port Tunnel section of the route from J1-J3 has a speed limit of 80 km/h due to the closely packed junctions and heavy volume of weaving traffic.
The N20 road is a national primary road in Ireland, connecting the cities of Cork and Limerick. Buttevant , Croom , Charleville , Mallow and Blarney are major towns along the route. A short section of the route (from Limerick to Patrickswell ) is motorway standard and is designated as the M20 Motorway .
