Limerick is a city on the River Shannon in the Mid-West Region of Ireland and is an important hub of several national roads.

The N7, N18, N20 and N24 all once met at a junction in the city centre. The N7 and N20 have since been upgraded to motorway (M7 and M20) and meet the N18 at a grade separated junction outside the city, while the N24 connects to the M7 one junction along. The N69 cross-country route across the southern Shannon Estuary starts at Limerick, and the N21 to Tralee starts around 10km away from the city centre.

The 1980s plan for Limerick involved a Northern Ring Road, starting at the Thomond Bridge, via a new bridge at Corcanree, and along a new Southern Ring Road, round to Castletroy.

The major road project in the area is the Limerick Tunnel under the River Shannon, which opened in 2010. It allows traffic from Galway and Ennis to bypass Limerick.
