Several north-south regional roads also traverse the mountains, providing amenity access to the county's interior. The county is also serviced by a [[National secondary road]] (N81) in western Wicklow, and a [[National primary road]] (N11) in eastern Wicklow which becomes a [[Motorways in the Republic of Ireland|motorway]] at Junction 14 north of Ashford. The N11/M11 is the main route used by Wicklow commuters heading northbound to Dublin. Southbound traffic can also be heavy on weekends due to the influx of Dublin visitors into Wicklow and [[County Wexford|Wexford]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://n11m11.ie |title=Junction 4 to Junction 14 Improvement Scheme |website=n11m11.ie |accessdate=26 October 2021 |url-status=live |df=dmy-all |archive-date=26 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190526072909/https://n11m11.ie/ }}</ref> Major routes include: * [[File:IRL N11.svg|30px]][[File:M11-IE.svg|32px]] [[N11 road (Ireland)|N11/M11]] β Runs near the east coast for {{convert|129|km|mi|abbr=on}}, linking [[Dublin]] and [[Wexford]].
