The [[M62 motorway]] is Yorkshire's main east–west thoroughfare, and north–south routes are the [[M1 motorway|M1]] and the [[A1 road (Great Britain)|A1]], with only the A1 continuing further north, with an upgrade to motorway status currently being built between [[Leeming, North Yorkshire|Leeming]] and [[Barton, North Yorkshire|Barton]]. The other main north–south road in the region is the [[A19 road|A19]].<ref name="patlas">{{cite book|title=Philips Motoring Atlas:Britain|publisher=Philips|location=London|year=2005}}</ref> The [[M180 motorway|M180]] (continuing as the A180) connects the ports at Grimsby and Immingham via the [[M18 motorway (Great Britain)|M18]] ([[European route E22]]).

The [[A64 road]] connects areas in the north-east of the region to the main body of motorways. The M1 was originally designed to finish at the A1 at Doncaster; this section became the M18 in December 1967. The section from the [[Thurcroft Interchange]] to Leeds (originally known as the Leeds-Sheffield Spur) was essentially designed to replace the [[A61 road|A61]], which is still the main road that connects the centres of Sheffield, Barnsley, Wakefield and Leeds, and continues through Harrogate and Ripon to Thirsk. The M180 is shadowed by the [[A18 road (England)|A18]], which is the main road through Scunthorpe. The single-carriageway [[A1079 road|A1079]] connects Hull to York, and has been exceeding its designed capacity for many years.

The main north–south and east–west routes interchange at a series of junctions to the south and east of Leeds, near Castleford. Leeds and Bradford have inner-city urban motorways, while Sheffield has the [[Sheffield Parkway]] and Hull has the ''Clive Sullivan Way'' ([[A63 road|A63]]) which connect the city centres with the motorway network.  Leeds has an inner-ring road network made mostly out of purpose-built motorway stretches which is mostly sub-terrain to the north of the city centre. Bradford, Huddersfield, Sheffield and York have inner-ring roads made by re-aligning existing roads while Halifax has a town-centre relief scheme made up of the Aachen Way and the North Bridge flyovers. The [[Office of the Traffic Commissioner]] central office is on the B6159 in east Leeds (Hillcrest House), which processes England and Wales [[Commercial driver's license|LGV and PSV licences]].

The [[Humber Bridge]], the tallest bridge in the UK at 538&nbsp;feet, was the world's longest suspension bridge from 17 July 1981 until 5 April 1998; it was built to connect with a proposed new town near the [[A15 road (England)|A15]]/M180 interchange.
