With the opening of the M40 right through to its link up with the M42 near Birmingham in the early 1990s, much of the route has been downgraded, and renumbered accordingly.

The A41 west of Hemel Hempstead, at its junction with the A414.

North of the M25 the road is a near motorway standard "A" road with all junctions grade-separated via underpasses or flyovers, but curves and gradients a little steeper. There are no hard shoulders but frequent lay-bys. It climbs through the Chiltern Hills and there are many scenic vistas of rolling hills and wooded valleys. A descent into the valley of the River Bulbourne takes it across water meadows just outside Hemel Hempstead at Boxmoor. There are GSJ's with the A414, A4251 and A416.
