| | 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. |
