Huddersfield is connected to the motorway network via the [[M1 motorway|M1]] and [[M62 motorway|M62]] motorways. The M1 passes about {{convert|10|mi|km|0|abbr=off}} to the east. The M62 passes about {{convert|2+1/2|mi|km|0|abbr=off}} to the north, and Huddersfield is linked to it by three junctions: Mount ([[A640 road|A640]], J23 – limited access), Ainley Top ([[A629 road|A629]], J24) and between [[Brighouse]] and Cooper Bridge ([[A644 road|A644]], J25).

Huddersfield Corporation built an inner [[ring road]], part of the [[A62 road|A62]], in the 1970s. The ring road now defines the boundary of the town's central business district. Its construction ended congestion within, where many roads are [[pedestrianised]].

Main radial roads are the:
*A62 Leeds Road
*[[A641 road|A641]] Bradford Road
*A629 Halifax Road, 
*A640 New Hey Road
*A642 Wakefield Road (in east branching into the A629: Penistone Road)
*A62 Manchester Road

Huddersfield's bus operators reflect the national situation; local subsidiaries of three dominant national operators provide most services in the area: [[First Calderdale & Huddersfield]] provide most local services in Huddersfield and some services outside Kirklees with destinations including Bradford, Brighouse, and Halifax. [[Stagecoach Manchester]] also operates the 184 service as part of the [[Bee Network]] out of the town to nearby [[Oldham]] in [[Greater Manchester]]. [[Arriva Yorkshire]] provide frequent services to Dewsbury and Leeds, and [[Team Pennine]] provide almost all services in the south east of the town. Other smaller operators include Stotts Coaches and Team Pennine. Centrebus Holdings purchased Teamdeck in May 2008, along with [[Stagecoach Yorkshire]]'s Huddersfield depot.<ref>{{cite news|date=3 May 2008|title=Stagecoach operation is sold – but not to Arriva|newspaper=The Huddersfield Daily Examiner|url=http://www.examiner.co.uk/news/express-and-chronicle/2008/05/03/stagecoach-operation-is-sold-but-not-to-arriva-86081-20874542/|url-status=dead|access-date=19 August 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120320044050/http://www.examiner.co.uk/news/express-and-chronicle/2008/05/03/stagecoach-operation-is-sold-but-not-to-arriva-86081-20874542/|archive-date=20 March 2012}}</ref> In November 2006, a [[Zero-fare public transport|zero-fare]] town centre bus service, the [[FreeCityBus|Free Town Bus]], was launched run by K-Line in partnership with Kirklees Council and Metro.

===Canal===
The [[Huddersfield Broad Canal]], originally the Sir John Ramsden Canal, and the [[Huddersfield Narrow Canal]] are both navigable by [[narrowboat]], and the broad canal by wider craft, wind around the south side of town. To the rear of the [[YMCA]] in the [[Turnbridge]] section is an electrically operated road bridge, which is still in use, to raise the road and allow boat traffic to pass. This bridge originally used a [[windlass]].
