  A5 road - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The road passes through the village of Markyate, then travels through the main shopping precinct of Dunstable, of which there were desperate plans for a four-mile bypass, which may now be a link road from the M1 instead.
The road passes close to Lutterworth on the A426 and the immense Magna Park distribution centre, built on the old Bitteswell airfield.
The A5 then crosses Anglesey in parallel to the A55 before arriving at the port of Holyhead, where it has traditionally ended at Admiralty Arch (1821, designed by Thomas Harrison to commemorate a visit by King George IV en route to Ireland).

 British road numbering scheme - Famous Women   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
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.
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.
One exception is the M5 whose closest A-road equivalent is the A38.

 Articles - Great Britain road numbering scheme   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
In England and Wales the road numbering system for all-purpose (ie non-motorway) roads is based in on a radial pattern centred on London.
For example, the A38 road, a trunk road running from from Bodmin to Mansfield starts in Zone 3, and is therefore numbered with a A3x number, even though it passes through Zones 4 and 5 to end in Zone 6.
It was numbered uniquely to give this road perceived importance - it was already known that the A5 road needed no such motorway bypass as this was already the job of the M1.

 Oswestry Borough Council - Policy TR9: Traffic Management - Eastern Oswestry
The route of a new road between Eastern Oswestry/Harlech Road and the Whittington Road, as shown on the Oswestry Town Inset Map, will be protected from development.
Whilst this means that the Borough Local Plan can no longer protect a proposed route for this scheme, the Borough Council will continue to press for its reintroduction given the traffic levels in the village, and the fact that Whittington is a village of outstanding character and visitor interest.
This recognises the Trunk Road's national and international function and could attract investment to allow the road to function properly at the local, national and international level.
