They were downgraded to A-roads in 2000 when the Greater London Authority took control of all roads within its boundaries, with the exception of the M1, M3, M4 and M11 which remain property of the Highways Agency.

A3220 from its junction with Westway (A40) to its junction with Clapham Common North Side (A3) including the road formerly known as the M41 so the M41 (always a silly motorway) is also no more, and has become part of a 4-digit A road.

The next section of road begins to descend again, falling away gently to the west, before a steeper slope into the Eastern Cleddau Valley, though this is too far away to see from the road.
