It is accessed by junction 6 (Worcester North) and junction 7 (Worcester South). It connects Worcester to most parts of the country, including London, which is only {{cvt|118|mi|km}} using the [[A44 road|A44]] via the [[Cotswolds]] and [[M40 motorway|M40]]. A faster journey to London is possible via the [[M5 motorway|M5]], [[M42 motorway|M42]] and [[M40 motorway|M40]], but with an increased distance of {{cvt|134|mi|km}}.

The main roads through the city include the [[A449 road]] south-west to [[Malvern, Worcestershire|Malvern]] and north to [[Kidderminster]]. The [[A44 road|A44]] runs south-east to [[Evesham]] and west to [[Leominster]] and [[Aberystwyth]] and crosses Worcester Bridge. The [[A38 road|A38]] trunk road runs south to [[Tewkesbury]] and [[Gloucester]] and north-north-east to [[Droitwich]] and [[Bromsgrove]] and [[Birmingham]]. The [[A4103 road|A4103]] goes west-south-west to [[Hereford]]. The [[A422]] heads east to [[Alcester]], branching from the A44 a mile east of the M5. The city is partly ringed by A4440.

Carrington Bridge on the A4440 is the second [[Crossings of the River Severn|road bridge across the Severn]], linking the A38 from Worcester towards Gloucester with the A449 to [[Malvern, Worcestershire|Malvern]]. It is one of Worcestershire's busiest roads. The single-carriageway bridge was doubled with work being completed on 5 August 2022, making the Southern Link Road dual between junction 7 of the M5 and Powick Roundabout.<ref>{{Cite web |date=11 November 2014 |title=The A4440 Worcester Southern Link Road Improvements |url=http://www.worcestershire.gov.uk/info/20623/the_a4440_worcester_southern_link_road_improvements/1017/the_a4440_worcester_southern_link_road_improvements/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190523170841/http://www.worcestershire.gov.uk/info/20623/the_a4440_worcester_southern_link_road_improvements/1017/the_a4440_worcester_southern_link_road_improvements/ |archive-date=23 May 2019 |access-date=31 October 2019 |publisher=Worcestershire.gov.uk}}; {{cite web |title=The A4440 Worcester Southern Link road improvements |url=https://www.worcestershire.gov.uk/council-services/travel-and-highways/major-infrastructure-improvements/road-improvements/a4440-worcester-southern-link-road-improvements |website=worcestershire.gov.uk |publisher=Worcestershire County Council}}</ref>
