Motorway Service Areas
The National Roads Authority plans to construct on-line motorway service areas at approximately 60-kilometre intervals along each of Ireland's interurban routes. Under this plan, the M7 will have two such areas: one will be located near Mountrath (junction 15), while the other will be sited between Nenagh and Roscrea, near junction 23. As of January 2009, no details regarding the physical construction of the M7 service areas have been announced.
An independently owned service area, Junction 14 Mayfield, was opened in June 2011. Accessed from either direction, traffic must use the existing junction 14 slip roads with eastbound traffic then crossing to the south side of the motorway by bridge.
