This research assessed the road network system of the Holy Najaf City. Survey of the study area was done to collect necessary data to assess the present state of the road network. The study infers that the Holy Governorate is connected to the neighboring Governorates but not with highways or railways or airways. So the journey time to the nearby capital cities is very long. Besides the condition and size of the current road network, this fact is a major disadvantage for the Holy Governorate. A connection to the railway system is very important for the Governorate. It would improve the public and goods transportation systems. for pilgrims and tourists. Railway and highway connections are basic (in a wider range). But they are not available. Furthermore, the location of the airport itself isn’t optimal. The airport is close to the city centers and is a restriction for the urban development. The noise and pollution affected the population and the environment. So, an urban development into the south isn’t possible.
