Congestion on the busiest sections of the region’s strategic road network is one of the biggest problems facing the transport sector in the 21st Century.
Traffic flows on the A69 range from 11,000 in the west to 30,000 east of Hexham, often increasing in winter when the alternative east-west route (A66) is affected by bad weather.
Fatal and serious road accidents in the North East were cut by over two fifths (41%) between 1991 and 2000, compared with a national decrease of 28% over the same period (Table 18.6).

Finally, the A68, A696 Trunk Roads are the responsibility of the Department of Transport with the Road Link (A69) Limited Company assuming responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the existing A69 Trunk Road for a period of 30 years from 1st April 1996.
However west of Hexham the A69 is single carriageway for most of its length towards the M6 in Cumbria, passing through a number of settlements on route.
The removal of trunk road traffic from the settlement is regarded by the Council as essential if the overall environment particularly for residents is to be improved and this proposed scheme is therefore supported.

We walked both east and west along the road on the first leg of the official Wall Path, admiring the wide sand beach, listening to the call of birds and stopping to smell the flowers.
A few more twists and turns in the road, a few more hedgerows and ancient farmhouses, and we were at our first serious stopping point: Birdoswald Roman Fort, one of 16 forts that were built along the wall.
Our next stop was the Roman Army Museum, five minutes down the road, which the kids loved for its scale models and somewhat hokey but life-size figures of Roman soldiers and citizens, and I loved for its display of ancient Roman footwear (amazingly well preserved in the peat bogs).

The crash - the third fatality on the short stretch of road in two months - has sparked calls for the A69 to be upgraded to dual carriageway.
Cumbria Police say part of the problem with the road is that it is single-carriageway and motorists often become frustrated when stuck in long lines of traffic.

 Hadrian\'s Wall   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The A69 road follows the course of the Wall as it starts in Newcastle-on-Tyne to Carlisle, then on round the northern coast of Cumbria.
Military roads or limes often marked the border, with forts and signal towers spread along them and it was not until the reign of Domitian that the first solid frontier was constructed, in Germania Superior, using a simple fence.
The route chosen largely followed the Stanegate road from Carlisle to Corbridge, which was already defended by a limes and several auxiliary forts, including Vindolanda.

 SABRE - Road Lists - Roads by 10 - A689
Prior to c1970 the road only ran from the A68 near Crook to Hartlepool but with the closure of the Wear Valley and South Tyne valley railways the road was extended over the Pennines to Brampton in Cumbria (Cumberland).
The reason the road was extended here was to relieve traffic on the A69 going through Warwick Bridge to and from the M6 at J43 but fails slightly in this objective as the A689 is not signposted from the southbound A74.
The road to the left before the bypass was also the A689 and met the A69 (now A6071) on the eastern outskirts of Brampton.

 A7 road - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The A7 is a major trunk road in the United Kingdom, that runs south from Edinburgh in Scotland to Carlisle in north-western England.
It then continues through the small town of Longtown, before meeting the A74 road, the A689 road and the M6 motorway at the Greymoorhill Roundabout, which is junction 44 of the M6, and currently the motorway's last junction (although this may change after the M6 is extended northwards to Gretna).
At Hardwicke Circus, a large roundabout junction, the A7 meets the A595 to west and southern Cumbria then forms part of Carlisle's one way system through the city centre meeting the A69 road and finally becoming the A6 road near Carlisle railway station.
