National secondary road
Encyclopedia
A national secondary road is a category of road in Ireland
. These roads form an important part of the national route network, but are secondary to the main arterial routes which are classified as national primary road
s. National secondary roads are designated with route numbers higher than those used for primary roads, but with the same "N" prefix. Routes N51
and higher are all national secondary roads.
National secondary roads have a default speed limit
of 100km/h (62.5 mph), as along with national primary routes, they fall into the speed limit category of national roads.
There are 2684km of national secondary roads in Ireland, making up slightly less than 50% of the entire national route (national primary and national secondary) network. National secondary routes are generally more poorly maintained than primary routes (although their quality can vary widely), but often carry more traffic than regional roads
. Almost the entire network of national secondary roads is single carriageway
, although there are some short sections of dual carriageway
on the Tallaght
bypass section of the N81, on the N52
at Dundalk
, on the N85
at Ennis
, on the N62
at Athlone and on the N71
between Cork and Bandon
. Typically, national secondary roads are of a similar standard or higher than regional roads although some are of lower quality than the better sections of regional roads. Many of them have been resurfaced with higher quality pavements in recent years with relatively smooth surfaces and good road markings and signposting
. However, road widths and alignments are often inadequate, with many narrow and winding sections.
National secondary roads generally do not bypass towns on their routes although there are a number of exceptions: the N52 bypasses Nenagh
, Mullingar
and the centre of Dundalk (as a relief road) with a further N52 bypass of Tullamore
planned, the N55
(along with the N3) bypasses Cavan
, the N56
forms part of the Donegal
bypass, the N61
and the N63
bypass Roscommon
, the N71 bypasses Halfway
and Skibbereen
, the N74
bypasses Cashel
, the N76
bypasses Callan, the N77
forms the northern part of the Kilkenny
ring road, the N80
bypasses Carlow
and the N85 bypasses Ennis. The former N8 bypass of Mitchelstown
was re-classified as the N73
when the Fermoy
(Moorepark) to Kilbehenny section of the M8
was completed.
Most national secondary roads were originally Trunk Roads under the old system of road classification
in the Republic of Ireland, although some sections of national secondary routes were formerly Link Roads. A large number of less important Trunk Roads became regional roads when the road classification system changed from 1977 onwards, including some roads, such as the N72
between Killarney
and Killorglin
, the N86
and the N87
, which were originally re-classified as regional roads but later re-classified again as national secondary routes. In 1994, three national secondary roads were reclassified as national primary roads: the N57 between Swinford
and Ballina
became the N26, the N64 between Oranmore
and Claregalway
became part of the N18 and the N79 between New Ross
and Enniscorthy
became the N30. In addition, a section of the N60
between Castlebar
and Westport
became part of the N5.
Some national secondary roads, though not arterial routes between major cities, connect scenic areas to major population centres. For example, the N59
through County Galway
and County Mayo
, the N70
road through County Kerry
(see Ring of Kerry
) and the N71 through West Cork
. For this reason, many national secondary roads are well-travelled by tourists.
