	Trunk road - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A trunk road, trunk highway, or strategic road is a major road—usually connecting one or more cities, ports, airports, etc.—which is the recommended route for long-distance and freight traffic.
		Trunk roads in England are managed by the Highways Agency.
		Trunk roads are often listed on maps with a "T" in brackets after their normal numbers so as to distinguish them from non-trunk parts of the same road.

	Grand Trunk Road - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Grand Trunk Road was built in the 16th century by Sher Shah Suri, the then Pathan Emperor of India, with the intention of linking together the remote provinces of his vast empire for administrative and military reasons.
		Originally known as the Sadak-e-Azam ('The road of the Emperor'), the Grand Trunk Road was the traditional route for invasions of the subcontinent by Afghan and Persian invaders, as well as one of the most important trade routes in the region.
		Today the Grand Trunk Road continues to be one of the major arteries of India and Pakistan, the Indian section is part of the ambitious Golden Quadrilateral Project.

		Labour now has a roads programme to rival that of the Conservatives when they were in power and the decisions have completed a Government policy U-turn.
		Road schemes have aroused opposition from ordinary people as well as environmentalists, as the bitter conflicts over Twyford Down and the Newbury Bypass in the 1990s showed.
		Among other trunk road schemes that have already been given the go-ahead by Ministers are widening and realignment of the A14 in Cambridgeshire, dualling of the A66 across the Northern Pennines and upgrade of the A1 to motorway standard in North Yorkshire.

	Cornwall County Council - Trunk Road Network
		The trunk road network, comprising the A30, A38 and at present the northern length of the A39 from Indian Queens to Bude is the responsibility of the DETR through their agents, the Highways Agency.
		However, whilst the trunk road network may be viewed as largely complete in some areas of the country this is not the case in Cornwall.
		Currently the village of Dobwalls is severed by the A38 trunk road and the associated environmental intrusion creates a very significant adverse impact on the quality of life in the village.

		That a road passes north-south just outside the gate (now closed permanently by a wall) in the parapets of the third terrace, gives credence to the general belief that the people travelling between Kashmir and Lahore had access to the Shalimar Gardens and were usually treated as royal guests.
		The road was to be 40 feet wide and was to be built in three phases.
		This part of the road was excavated at six “cardinal points” — Kharian Pass, the Sohawa-Hatti ranges on the banks of the Bakrala river, the Margalla Pass near Kala Serai, Haro, Geedar Gali and the embankments of the Chenbab and Jhelum.

		These set out the Government's suggested criteria for the composition of the core national trunk road and motorway network, and made proposals for a significant proportion of the existing trunk road network to be detrunked and returned to local authority control.
		(iii) The trunk road network proposals did not include the addition of the A380 from its junction with the A38 to Torbay, despite the fact that this route is predominantly a high speed dual carriageway, and serves a major centre of population in the South West.
		Roads which are detrunked will continue to be A roads, so they will not be shown differently on road maps.

		The amount of investment in the rehabilitation of the stretch of the trunk road passing through their sub-county is likely to be of the order of the sub-county’s annual tax revenue and is unlikely to be repeated for some time.
		During the initial road committee workshops, the passability of the roads accessing the trunk road is identified using a simple ranking system.
		For the first road being rehabilitated using labour-based methods in an area where women have not worked on the roads, a third of the applicants were women, which helps to make the recruitment process fairer.

		It was felt that the idea of providing these diversion routes for all purpose trunk roads, such as the A421, was a departure from the original concept of motorway diversions.
		There were concerns about unacceptable congestion on county roads; no provision for drivers with local destinations; driver confusion about which symbol to follow; multiplicity of diversion routes; and the possible 'rogue' use by drivers of the diversion routes at times of heavy congestion on the A421.
		The closure of a busy trunk road tends to result in other roads in the area becoming seriously congested and this makes in difficult for workers to get around the route to set up the signs.
