List of highways in Iraq

This is a list of Iraqi highways. Iraq has a network comprising nine motorways, twelve highways and 40 national roads. They connect Iraq with all neighbouring countries. When Saddam Hussein visited the United States in the 1980s, he was impressed by the size and infrastructure of the highway system. He ordered his engineers to build highways in the American form - wide lanes, shoulders and clover leaves.
