File:UK road A3027.svg A3027 | Staplegrove | Taunton | First used along Queen Street in Salisbury. Decommissioned probably by the 1960s (the number was in use elsewhere), but may have been renumbered as a spur of a nearby route well before then. Now entirely pedestrianized.
Next used in Taunton town center along Upper High Street, connecting the A38 to itself. Because it performed so well in taking traffic out of the center of Taunton, it became a portion of a rerouted A38. |
File:UK road A3028.svg A3028 | Durrington | A303 via Bulford | |
File:UK road A3029.svg A3029 | Bedminster | Hotwells | Originally ran between the A342 to the A345 south of Upavon. Renumbered as a spur of the A345, probably in 1935. |
File:UK road A3030.svg A3030 | Sherborne | Lydlinch | Originally ran along Ashley Road in Branksome, Poole. Renumbered as a spur of the A345 in the 1935 renumbering and is now part of the B3061 after the A345 was cut back. |
File:UK road A3031.svg A3031 | Chelsea Embankment | Battersea Park | First used in Poole from the A35 to the then-A348. Became a portion of a rerouted A35 in 1935 and is now part of an extended A350, although the northernmost part is part of an A35 gyratory.
Next used along a former routing of the A33 in Reading. Downgraded to a B road with the same number. |
File:UK road A3032.svg A3032 | Hare Hatch | Charvil | Originally ran along Cornhill, South Street and Weymouth Avenue in Dorchester, cutting the corner between the then-A35 and A37. Renumbered as a portion of the A354 in 1935; now unclassified and partially pedestrianized. |
File:UK road A3033.svg A3033 | Weston-super-Mare | Uphill | Originally the B3127, it previously terminated on the original A370 Locking Road. Although a bypass for the town centre, most traffic seeking to avoid the town centre uses the unclassified Winterstoke Road.
Originally ran along Southbroom Place (now Southbroom Road) in Devizes, cutting the corner between the A342 and A360 and just missing the A361. Now a portion of the A360, although it may have been a spur before this. |
File:UK road A3034.svg A3034 | Unused | Ran along York Road between the A36 and A38 in Bristol. Initially thought to have become an eastern extension of the A370 in 1935, a mid-1960s map shows the route as still A3034 and the 1974 AA Touring Guide to England shows the road as A3024 (a typo), meaning the route may have had its number until the 1970s; it is now likely that the change was in 1935, but was later reversed as some large scale OS maps from the 1940s and 1950s show the road as A370.
Number possibly later used along Queen Street in Maidenhead; possibly a typo for the A3064 or it may have been changed later on for some reason. | |
File:UK road A3035.svg A3035 | Southampton | Southampton Common | Originally ran from Axbridge to Cross. Renumbered as a spur of the A371 in the 1935 renumbering. |
File:UK road A3036.svg A3036 | County Hall, London | Wandsworth | Formerly the A303.
Originally ran from the A358 in South Petherton to the A37 in Ilchester. Between 1927 and 1932 it was extended over the B3090 to the now-gone A344 near Stonehenge. Renumbered to the A303 in 1933; the A3036 number was reused as a renumbering of the original A303. See also: Albert Embankment |
File:UK road A3037.svg A3037 | Unused | Ran from the A358 (later A303, now unclassified) to the A374 (later A358) in Ilminster. Declassified in 1988 due to completion of the Ilminster bypass and the declassification of the A303. | |
File:UK road A3038.svg A3038 | North Town, Taunton | Rowbarton, Taunton | Originally linked Ditton Street to High Street in Ilminster. Renumbered as a spur of the A3037 in the 1935 renumbering; now unclassified due to completion of the Ilminster bypass and resultant decommissioning of the A3037. |
File:UK road A3039.svg A3039 | Bath | Bath | Originally ran along the western part of Chard Street and part of Victoria Place in Axminster. Became a spur of the A374 (later A358) and is now part of the A358 itself. May have been the shortest identified A road in the British Isles at just 174 ft (53 m). |
File:UK road A3040.svg A3040 | Branksome | Wallisdown | Originally a loop off the A376 in Budleigh Salterton. Still marked as A3040 on a 1958 OS map, it was likely downgraded at the same time as the A376. Now part of an extended B3178. |
File:UK road A3041.svg A3041 | Unused | Ran from the Devonport seafront to the A386. Decommissioned when the present A38 opened: the southernmost section is unclassified, the route through Stoke is now the B3396 and the section from Milehouse to Hartley is now a rerouted A386. | |
File:UK road A3042.svg A3042 | Unused | Ran from the A389 (later A38, now A374) in Devonport to the A387 (later A388, now A3064) in Keyham. Downgraded in the 1970s after the current A38 opened and is now the B3396. | |
File:UK road A3043.svg A3043 | Unused | Ran from the A3042 (now the B3396) in Devonport to the A3041 (also now the B3396) in Stoke. Renumbered to A3049 for reasons unknown. | |

File:UK road A3045.svg A3045 | Unused | Loop off A390 in Lostwithiel. Decommissioned due to completion of the Lostwithiel bypass and is now part of the B3268.
Later reserved around 1970 for "existing parallel length of A329 when passed by the S.E. Reading to N.W. Wokingham relief road", but the number was not used. | |
File:UK road A3046.svg A3046 | Woking | Chobham | Originally ran from the A39 and A393 to the A394 northwest of Penryn. May have been renumbered as a spur of the A394 in 1935 (shown as such on a 1957 OS map) but is now part of a rerouted A39, forming a portion of the Penryn bypass. |
File:UK road A3047.svg A3047 | Scorrier | Camborne | Originally ran along Clinton Road in Redruth, paralleling the original A393 (now B3300). Probably renumbered as a spur in 1935, but is now unclassified. |
File:UK road A3048.svg A3048 | Unused | Ran along St Thomas Road connecting the A388 to the then-A30 on the west side of Launceston Castle and was later extended along the old A30 to the A30 southern bypass when it was built in the 1940s. Now just a spur of the A388. | |
File:UK road A3049.svg A3049 | Fleetsbridge | Boscombe | Number first used on a road cutting the corner between the A3 and the A27 near Portsmouth; was the first A3xxx number allocated after the original 1922 classification. Became a spur of the A27 in 1935 and later part of the A27 itself after the Cosham and Havant bypasses were built.
Next used as an unexplained renumbering of the A3043 in Plymouth. Now part of the B3396. |

File:UK road A3062.svg A3062 | Odd Down | Widcombe | Originally used in 1926 as an unexplained renumbering of a section of the A287 west of the A32. Returned to the A287 in 1935. |
File:UK road A3063.svg A3063 | Heston | Hanworth Road, Whitton | First used along an old routing of the A3 in Kingston when the A3 number was used for the Kingston bypass instead of the A239. The A239 would have been out of zone, so the A3063 number was used instead. Became the A308 (to the north) and A307 (to the south) by 1932.
Next used as an upgrade of the B3021 from Old Windsor to Datchet. Renumbered as an extension of the A328 in 1935, but has since gotten its old number as it was downgraded back to the B3021. |
File:UK road A3064.svg A3064 | Milehouse | Weston Mill | Originally ran along Queen Street in Maidenhead, cutting the corner between the A308 and A4; not on the 1922 Road Lists, but designated in 1927.

File:UK road A3065.svg A3065 | Staplegrove | Bishop's Hull | Known as "Silk Mills Road"
Originally ran along the old A4 through Twyford. Renumbered as not one, but two spurs of the A321 in the 1935 renumbering; now the A3032. |

File:UK road A3067.svg A3067 | Unused | Ran from the A36 to the A33 with a spur (former B3057) to the A3035, formed a portion of the South Coast Trunk Road (the T37) from 1946. Originally the A35 until it was renumbered to A3067 around 1940 for unknown reasons (probably to remove the multiplex with the A36) and became the A36 again when Tebourba Way was built in 1953. | |
File:UK road A3068.svg A3068 | Unused | Ran from Christchurch to Lymington; was a portion of the B3054. Renumbered as a portion of the A337 in 1935. | |
File:UK road A3069.svg A3069 | Unused | Ran from Lymington to Lyndhurst; originally portions of the B3056 and B3057. Renumbered as a portion of the A337 in 1935; the section in Lyndhurst is part of the town's A35 one-way system. | |
File:UK road A3070.svg A3070 | Unused | Formerly connected the A35 southeast of Axminster with Lyme Regis via Uplyme; now downgraded to the southernmost section of the B3165. | |
File:UK road A3071.svg A3071 | Penzance | St Just in Penwith | Originally ran along Stony Lane in Axminster. Although the road was still shown as an unnumbered A road on maps into the 1960s, the number had been reused in Cornwall in 1935 with the original route becoming a spur of the A373 or A358 (former A374). Now downgraded to a portion of the B3261. |
File:UK road A3072.svg A3072 | Bickleigh | Bude | |
File:UK road A3073.svg A3073 | Stratton, Cornwall | Bude | Originally ran from Exeter Inn to Bampton, formerly a section of the A396. Returned to the A396 in the 1935 renumbering, but as a spur; downgraded to a portion of the B3227 after the A361 was downgraded. |

File:UK road A3078.svg A3078 | Probus | St Mawes | Originally used for the Plymouth northern bypass; originally the B3246. Renumbered A374 in 1935 and then became a portion of the A38 in the 1960s when the Tamar Bridge opened.

File:UK road A3084.svg A3084 | Unused | First used in south Cornwall between Par and Holmbush along the westernmost section of the B3271 (much of which became the A3082 except for this section), but it became a portion of the A3082 anyway in 1935.
Used a second time in 1937 as a temporary number for the northern section of the Exeter Bypass (renumbered from the A378), but it became the A38 in 1938 when it was rerouted (old A38 became the A3085). Used a final time in 1975 between Redhills and Alphington on the western edge of Exeter. Declassified in the late 1970s when the A30 western bypass was built. | |
File:UK road A3085.svg A3085 | Unused | Original routing of the A38 in Exeter before it was rerouted on top of the A3084. The northern section is now mostly the B3212 and much of the multiplex is now pedestrianized.

The southern end is now gone, lost under the A30 bypass. | |
File:UK road A3086.svg A3086 | Unused | Location unknown, but since the A3095 was created in 1935 this clearly did exist. This may have been a short-lived road from Andover to Micheldever (upgrade of the B3049; became part of the A303). | |

File:UK road A3090.svg A3090 | Near Winchester | Near Totton | Formerly part of the A31. Before this, the A3090 was allocated to the road from the A31 through Winchester to the A33; this became the B3040 and an extension of the B3047, and the A3090 was reused on the current route. |
File:UK road A3091.svg A3091 | Unused | Ran via Sussex Street and City Road from High Street (then the A272) to Hyde Street (then the A3090) in Winchester.
