The road maintenance authority in Northern Ireland, Roads Service, is a central government agency within the Department for Regional Development.  Roads Service is divided into four main areas: North, South, East and West, with the actual areas based roughly on the local council boundaries.
The road maintenance authority in Northern Ireland, '''Transport NI''', is an executive agency within the ''Department for Infrastructure'' (DfI).


The Northern Division area covers the Antrim, Ballymena, Larne, Ballymoney, Ballymoney, Moyle, Coleraine, Limavady and Derry Councils.  Eastern covers Belfast, Carrickfergus, Newtownabbey, Castlereagh, Lisburn and North Down.  Southern Division is comprised of Ards, Craigavon, Armagh, Banbridge, Down, and Newry and Mourne.  Western Division is the largest and most rural of the four areas, and covers the Strabane, Magherafelt, Cookstown, Dungannon, Omagh and Fermanagh councils.

* If you know the name of a road, filter it using that name in the Description column to show the road and any that connect to it, then use the length column to try and figure out or confirm the connecting road names against OpenStreetMap.
