There are many main, secondary and rural roads that a visitor can take to go to the city of Karbala, and although most of these roads are unpaved and not well suited for use, they are used in many cases, especially during religious occasions witnessed by the governorate, which leads to visitors heading in large numbers to this governorate, which necessitates the need to take many of these roads due to the great congestion witnessed by the main paved roads,‍
