Regional Road (Ireland)
A regional road ( ga, bóthar réigiúnach) in the Republic of Ireland is a class of road not forming a major route (such as a national primary road or national secondary road), but nevertheless forming a link in the Roads in Ireland, national route network. There are over 11,600 kilometres (7,200 miles) of regional roads. Regional roads are numbered with three-digit route numbers, prefixed by "R" (e.g. R105). The equivalent road category in Northern Ireland are Roads in Northern Ireland#"B" roads, B roads. History Until 1977, classified roads in the Republic of Ireland were designated with one of two prefixes: Trunk Roads in Ireland, "T" for Trunk Roads and "L" for Link Roads. ThLocal Government (Roads and Motorways) Act authorised the designation of roads as National roads: in 1977, twenty-five National Primary roads (N1-N25) and thirty-three National Secondary roads (N51-N83) were initially designated unde Many of the remaining classified roads became Regional roads (formally ...

Motorway
A controlled-access highway is a type of highway that has been designed for high-speed vehicular traffic, with all traffic flow—ingress and egress—regulated. Common English terms are freeway, motorway and expressway. Other similar terms include '' throughway'' and '' parkway''. Some of these may be limited-access highways, although this term can also refer to a class of highways with somewhat less isolation from other traffic. In countries following the Vienna convention, the motorway qualification implies that walking and parking are forbidden. A fully controlled-access highway provides an unhindered flow of traffic, with no traffic signals, intersections or property access. They are free of any at-grade crossings with other roads, railways, or pedestrian paths, which are instead carried by overpasses and underpasses. Entrances and exits to the highway are provided at interchanges by slip roads (ramps), which allow for speed changes between the highway and arteri ...

Bypass (road)
A bypass is a road or highway that avoids or "bypasses" a built-up area, town, or village, to let through traffic flow without interference from local traffic, to reduce congestion in the built-up area, and to improve road safety. A bypass specifically designated for trucks may be called a truck route. If there are no strong land use controls, buildings are often built in town along a bypass, converting it into an ordinary town road, and the bypass may eventually become as congested as the local streets it was intended to avoid. Petrol station A filling station, also known as a gas station () or petrol station (), is a facility that sells fuel and engine lubricants for motor vehicles. The most common fuels sold in the 2010s were gasoline (or petrol) and diesel fuel. Gaso ...s, shopping centres and some other businesses are often built there for ease of access, while homes are often avoided for noise and pollution reasons. Bypass routes are often controversial, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Super Two
A super two, super two-lane highway or wide two-lane is a two-lane surface road built to highway standards with wide lanes and other safety features normally present on a freeway with more lanes, typically including partial control of access, occasional passing lanes and hard shoulders. It is often built for eventual conversion to freeway or at least divided-highway status once traffic volumes rise. Super twos have also been employed because of environmental concerns, such as where Interstate 93 becomes a super two in Franconia Notch, New Hampshire, United States. Ireland In the Republic of Ireland, the term ''wide two-lane'' is used by the National Roads Authority. In policy documents, the designation WS2 is used, which is also used in the UK for a wide single carriageway. Wide two-lane roads are common on national roads, both on less important but medium-capacity routes, and on more important routes not yet upgraded to dual carriageway or motorway. Wide two-lane roads in th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

R774 Road (Ireland)
The R774 road is a regional road in County Wicklow, Ireland, which has been named the Farenkelly Road. It is a dual-carriageway that connects the town of Greystones with the N11 national primary road at J11. The road crosses the R761 at a roundabout near Eden Gate and terminates at the R762 north of Charlesland, Greystones. It was completed in 2004 but not connected to the N11 until June 2006, via a temporary "left-in, left-out" junction. The construction of a full grade interchange between the R774 and N11 was delayed when an illegal dump was unearthed at the original location for the junction. Construction of the permanent fully grade-separated junction (J11 on the N11) started in October 2006 and was completed in 2008. A distinctive feature of this road is the pink central barrier (see thumbnail); it may be the only coloured barrier in Ireland.

R710 Road (Ireland)
The R710 road is a regional road in Ireland. Located in the south of Ireland at Waterford, it forms the ''Outer Ring Road'' around the south of the city. As of December 2006 it commences on the Old Kilmeaden Road at Knockhouse Lower, west of Waterford City and ends at a junction with the R683 on the ''Dunmore Road'' in the south-east of the city. The R709 forms the ''Inner Ring Road'' around the south of the inner city. Background Waterford City Council initiated work on the outer ring road in 1993. Phase one of the outer ring road, between the ''Dunmore Road'' and the ''Williamstown Road'', opened in Autumn 1998, at a cost of about £1M. The council planned a phase 2, which would link the Williamstown and Airport roads, at a cost of £1.2M, however this phase was never carried out. Instead it was announced in 2000 that the department of Finance would fund the remainder of the road, between the Williamstown and Cork roads, though ultimately it was completed under the ausp ...

R136 Road (Ireland)
The R136 road is a regional road in Ireland, located in the southwest of Dublin. Named the ''Outer Ring Road'', the route, which is dual carriageway, runs from the N4 at Lucan to the N81 at Tallaght, bypassing west of Clondalkin (around Grange Castle) and crossing the N7 near Citywest. It was built as part of the planning for the new town of Adamstown. Route The route was legislated in 2006 as commencing along the R835 near Lucan ( Adamstown), and running south via ''Ballyowen Distributor Road'' and ''Grange Castle Road'' to ''Kingswood Interchange'' on the N7 (Junction 2). This forms "Phase 1" of the planned outer ring road (the M50 motorway being an inner ring road which should not be confused with the ''Inner Orbital Route'', an Inner Ring in the inner City). Phase 2, which opened in December 2006, commences at the N4 road east of Lucan, passing through Ballyowen, with a junction for Adamstown, before linking up with the existing road at Grange Castle.
