Because maps of the motorway system are very detailed, they will inevitably be relatively large and take some time to download. Load the one that best meets your needs, which will be shown here.

The maps which are available, show only the motorway system in England, Scotland and Wales. A map showing the system in Northern Ireland is available on the Schemes page. Whilst all of the motorways are shown, it is not possible to label all of them, and these are again shown on the various Regional pages.

The various maps available, their resolution and resulting sizes are shown below.

Low resolution colour (79k) - High resolution colour (132k) - Maximum resolution colour (523k)
