British road numbering scheme (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) |
 | | With the advent of the car and the huge expansion in the numbers and standards of roads, as well as the introduction of a national Highway Code, a coherent numbering scheme was developed, which is still in use today. |
 | | Other parts of UK territory such as Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands have their own numbering series which is separate from that of the island of Great Britain itself, but both the basic conventions and the design of the road signs are identical. |
 | | 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. |
