1922 Road Lists/Northern Ireland Class II

Northern Ireland's road list were first published in December 1923, over two weeks, in the Belfast gazette. They were ordered by authority, with the six county councils and the County Borough of Londonderry publishing a week before the County Borough of Belfast.

This list lists them in numerical order, merging the different authorities' accounts of the road, in order to present them in a consistent way with the British roads lists.
