The National Roads Authority (NRA) was created to administer, manage, control, develop and maintain the Island's public roads and related facilities, such as signals, stormwater facilities, roadway lighting, roadway directional signage, etc.

It performs the following: routine, periodic and emergency public road maintenance; collects information on the performance of the existing transportation system; forecasts future traffic demand; and identifies possible solutions to anticipated issues in system performance and deficiencies.

Current Projects

The NRA painted 'sharrow's' on the roads to help improve cyclist safety. See the info graphic below to find out more about the rights of cyclists on the roads.

In January 2026, the National Roads Authority (NRA), operating under the National Road Safety Committee, announced plans to introduce new “3 FEET – IT’S THE LAW” signs across the road network as part of a new safety strategy for cyclists.

Once approved by Cabinet and formally incorporated into the Cayman Islands Road Code, the signs will be installed in areas with heavy bicycle use, including routes popular with recreational cyclists and commuters, such as South Church Street and other major roads.

The NRA also tries to maintain road safety through educating the public on how to use the roads and roundabouts correctly. Find out more about using roundabouts correctly.
