  A12 road - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The A12 is a major road in England, a trunk road for most of its length, running from London to Great Yarmouth in Norfolk.
For most of its length through Suffolk the A12 is a single carriageway road and in many places its speed limit is less than the national limit, for example as it passes through towns and villages.
To bypass Ipswich along its southern edge, the A12 is discontinuous and uses a 7 mile (11 km) section of the A14 accessed at roundabout junctions, where A14 traffic has unrestricted through flow and A12 traffic has to use the roundabouts.

 A14 road - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The A14 is a major road in England, running from The Port of Felixstowe to the junction of the M1 and M6 motorways near Rugby.
The section between Cambridge and Kettering used to be classified as the A604 and apart from a short section near Kettering that used to be part of the A6, the remainder of the road between Kettering and Rugby was built at the time of the road's reclassification in the mid-1990s.
The road known as the A14 until the mid-90's is now the A1198 between Royston, Hertfordshire and Godmanchester but, confusingly, retains its A14 designation north of Godmanchester until it meets the A1 road near Alconbury; thus forming a 'spur' off the main A14.

Thus a road that is also the boundary of a town would have a CFCC describing its road characteristics not its boundary characteristics.
In a rural area, this is a short distance road connecting the smallest towns; the road may or may not have a State or county route number.
The road is found almost exclusively in a very rural area, sometimes the road is called a fire road or logging road and may include an abandoned railroad grade where the tracks have been removed.

 Definition of Roads in Ireland
Road construction in Northern Ireland has proceeded at a slower pace in recent years, although a number of important bypasses and upgrades to dual carriageway have recently been completed or are about to begin.
In the Republic of Ireland, the most important roads are a small number of motorways, indicated by the prefix "M" followed by one or two digits.
The main roads in the north, which connect well with those in the south, are classified "M"/"A"/"B" as in Great Britain, though their numbering is separate from the British system.

Bramford Road is on a fairly steep hill and is now on a bus route, but prior to the installation of the signals the buses were forced to go via Wellington Street to get onto Norwich Road.
As well as Norwich Road, the A12 was originally routed down the top part of London Road from here, Portman Road led to the football ground and the railway station and St Matthews Street continued into town.
A12 traffic was directed along Handford Road and this part of London Road became a quiet residential street, along with Burlington Road and then swings into the northern half of Portman Road.

 Milestone Road - A12, Ipswich to Lowestoft   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The A12 from London to Lowestoft was one of the old coaching roads, turnpiked
The A12 has been extensively rerouted and towns and villages bypassed over the years, since it is one of the trunk routes upgraded to carry heavy freight from the port of Felixstowe near Ipswich to the capital.
As a result some detective work is needed to trace the original course of the road, but most of the milestones seem to have survived.

I was in lane 1, which becomes the slip road for the next junction and so was never going to pull over, which would mean missing my turning.
Anyway this idiot matches my speed mph for mph all the way down the slip road and alongside me. I would normally hold a steady speed in these circumstances but had to slow down due to traffic in front.

 Guardian | Welcome to Gormandy
The natural boundary between them, I've argued, is the A12 London to Colchester road - a dividing line, this, not just of culture but of geology: boulder clay, and the pretty landscapes that go with it, north of the road, and, appropriately, London clay to the south.
Wivenhoe, which I understand to be the Hampstead of Colchester, clearly belonged to the north, while some readers submitted a moving case for including within old Essex the serene, green and delightful Dengie peninsula and especially the ruined 7th-century church on the shore east of Bradwell-on-Sea.
A new county should be created to the south of the A12, perhaps with its county town at Southend-on-Sea; evoking the spirit of that Boudicca de nos jours, the feisty Thatcherite MP for Billericay, Teresa Gorman, it might be called Gormandy.

 Bike Ride from Pisa to Lucca
The pavement was smooth, the road level, and though without a shoulder, was comfortable enough for a bicyclist to ride on.
My plan was to take the A12 for about 5 kilometers and then turn off to get on what appeared to be a "B" road (curiously numbered 12, as well) that arched parabolically from San Giuliano and approached Lucca from the west.
He told me that the strada giallo (the yellow road on my map) was somewhere between the ferroviaria and the strada russo, a fact that I can already see from my map and thus shed little light on the road’s exact location.
