The following rural road schemes are proposed: - A2 Broadbridge Dualling, which would upgrade 6.6 kilometre length of the existing A2 to dual carriageway standard between Maydown and City of Derry Airport. There is a short length of this within the Limavady Council area.
- A26 Glarryford to A44 Dualling, which would upgrade a 7-kilometre length of the existing A26 to dual carriageway standard between Glarryford and the A44 turn off to Ballycastle.
- A6 Dungiven Bypass, which would provide a single carriageway bypass of the town.
- A6 Glenshane to Dungiven, Carn (improving overtaking opportunity towards Dungiven and towards Maghera);
- A6 Munreery (improving overtaking opportunity towards Dungiven);
- A26 Ballinaloob North (improving overtaking opportunity towards Ballymena).
- A26 Ballinaloob South (improving overtaking opportunity towards Ballymoney).
- A26 Glenlough East (improving overtaking opportunity towards Ballymoney).
- A37 Gortcorbies (improving overtaking opportunity towards Coleraine).
- A26 Ballymoney Bypass (long-term dualling along the line of the existing bypass.

During the Plan period, further schemes may be identified to provide safety improvements and overtaking opportunities on the RSTN; implementation of these would be subject to the availability of resources within the RSTN Transport Plan. Schemes relating to urban areas are to be found in the relevant Settlement section in Volume 2 of the Plan.
