  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.

 Driving in Ireland - Roads
In the Republic of Ireland, the Minister for Transport, acting through the Department of Transport, is responsible for the state's road network, rail network, public transport, airports and several other areas.
Northern Ireland route sections (which are classified separately according to NI schemes) are in some cases included in a theoretical complete cross-border route — for example the N3 route, which re-enters the Republic.
Regional Roads are indicated with an "R" prefix and a three-digit number, ranging from R1xx in the north-east to R7xx in the south-east of the country.

Note that the old road remains to the west of the A5 and is thus in the ``correct'' cone.
