 CBRD - Links
Roads and transport in general are very hotly debated topics, nowhere more so than on the internet.
Probably the best government-run roads website there is. Lancashire County Council, responsible for our first motorway and Britain's first centre line, present well-written histories of many of their major roads and motorways.
An interest in roads and an interest in maps go together hand in hand, and luckily there's an abundance (well, two) free mapping sites showing the whole UK in all its bright, clear, zoomable glory.

 CBRD - British Roads FAQ
Nearly all public roads have been surfaced since the early part of the 20th century, and the country has a good coverage of purpose-built dual carriageways (divided highways) and motorways (freeways), built from the 1950s onwards.
Older roads are generally well maintained and surfaced, but are rarely widened or re-aligned and often their courses have been unchanged for centuries.
A-roads are the other major routes; they vary from motorway-standard to narrow local roads, and have 1, 2, 3 or 4-digit numbers prefixed with 'A'.

 A9 road - Medbib.com, the modern encyclopedia
The A9 is a major road running from the Falkirk council area in central Scotland to Thurso in the far north, via Stirling, Bridge of Allan, Perth and Inverness.

The new large cars - Austin A99 and Wolseley 6/99 respectively - were the third Farina-styled cars to be launched in a matter of months.
The A99 followed the same Farina-inspired lines as the Austin A55 Mk II/Morris Oxford family, but was an altogether larger, squatter and somehow more impressive monocoque, riding on a 9ft wheelbase and using the latest version of the C-Series engine.
Coded AD0 10 in the BMC scheme of things, the A99 and the badge-engineered Wolseley 6/99 were mechanically identical and utterly conventional in all respects.

Ron Goldstone remarked that he was a little unnerved at the reasons to close this road as safety and weight limitations are the reasons to close a road not the accommodation of a citizen.
Roger added that a chained road also created a potential danger, and it would be to the Town’s advantage to close the road due to expensive maintenance as it washes out at least once a year.
Ron Goldstone asked about closing only a portion of the road as it was reasonably passable until he came to the chain.

 Dornoch to Brora - Walking Land's End to John o'Groats with Mark Moxon
The A9 and its friend the A99 are my faithful companions until the end of this walk, and as I get closer to the furthest tip of Britain there's less and less I can do about it.
Until yesterday I could count the number of A-road miles I've walked on one hand, and although we had to follow the A9 for four miles across the Dornoch Firth yesterday, it wasn't too bad because the road was pretty wide and there was a reasonable grassy verge for most of the way.
But from today the amount of road walking is highly significant and in a couple of days' time this walk turns from a pleasant tramp through the scenic parts of the country to a roadside haul along a busy, unforgiving main road.
