National Roads Authority

The National Roads Authority (NRA) was created to administer, manage, control, develop and maintain the Island's public roads and related facilities, such as signals, stormwater facilities, roadway lighting, roadway directional signage, etc.

It performs the following: routine, periodic and emergency public road maintenance; collects information on the performance of the existing transportation system; forecasts future traffic demand; and identifies possible solutions to anticipated issues in system performance and deficiencies.

The NRA currently has various road projects underway including:

• Enhancing traffic flow and improving road safety for all users at the Frank Sound Road and Bodden Town Road intersection, historically an accident blackspot.
• "The King’s Connector" is the realignment and widening of Crewe Road (westbound and eastbound from Grand Harbour). This is the next stage of a multi-phase development that involves increasing the number of lanes on the primary Grand Harbour arterials and their intersections to six, and adding a service road from Edgewater Way.
• The East-West Arterial (EWA) extension – an eight-mile road extension from Woodland Drive to Frank Sound Road.

The NRA painted 'sharrow's' on the roads to help improve cyclist safety. See the info graphic below to find out more about the rights of cyclists on the roads.

The NRA also tries to maintain road safety through educating the public on how to use the roads and roundabouts correctly. Find out more about using roundabouts correctly.
