British road numbering scheme (1198 words)
Britain has a long history, and has many ancient roads and trackways dating back to the Roman occupation and before.
A1 London to Edinburgh (The Great North Road)\n* A2 London to Dover (Watling Street)\n* A3 London to Portsmouth (Portsmouth Road)\n* A4 London to Bristol (The Great West Road, or Bath Road)\n* A5 London to Holyhead (Watling Street)\n* A6 St.
Roads and lanes with yet lower traffic densities are designated 'C' and 'D' roads, but while these are numbered, in general this is done purely for the benefit of the local authorities, etc. who are responsible for maintaining them, and the numbering is arbitrary and does not, or should not, appear on any public signage.
