Single- and double-digit roads
Road | From | To | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
File:UK road A5.svg A5 | Central London (Marble Arch) | Holyhead | Forms parts of the historical route of Watling Street. The section from M1 J4 north of Edgware to N. of Dunstable is now numbered A5183. The A5 now starts at M1 J11A and runs west to join previous alignment. |
File:UK road A50.svg A50 | Leicester | Warrington | Becomes M1 motorway between junctions 22 and 24A. Used to start at Hockliffe on A5, north of Dunstable. Gradually cut back to Northampton, then Leicester. Before opening of Derby southern bypass in 1997, it followed present A511 between Markfield and Foston. |
File:UK road A51.svg A51 | Chester | Kingsbury | Formerly ending at the A5 in Tamworth, the road to the south was the northern end of the A423. When the latter was downgraded north of Coventry, the A51 was extended to the A47. Subsequently, the A47 too was downgraded (to the B1114) and the A51 was then cut back to its present terminus near Kingsbury. |

Three-digit roads
Road | From | To | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
File:UK road A500.svg A500 | Clayton | Nantwich | Known locally as the D Road, either because its route resembles the curved part of a letter D (with a section of the M6 forming the upright) or after the Roman numeral 'D' (500).
Originally ran from the A5 at Marble Arch to the A1 at Tally Ho Corner in North Finchley. In 1935 it was extended and rerouted over the A5088 Watford Bypass (the original route became the A598). Renumbered to A41 in the 1950s when it was deemed sensible to give the lower numbers of the bypassed routes to new-build bypasses and radials north of London. |
File:UK road A501.svg A501 | Westway (London) | Moorgate | Part of the London Inner Ring Road, comprises Marylebone Road, Euston Road, Pentonville Road and City Road. Terminates at junction with London Wall. |

Originally ran from the A5 in Hockliffe to the A508 south of Northampton. Became a southern extension of the A50 in 1935 and has since been downgraded (one section is now B526). |
File:UK road A507.svg A507 | Buntingford | M1 junction 13 | The northern terminus and the course of the road have recently been changed to bypass Ridgmont. |
File:UK road A508.svg A508 | Old Stratford | Market Harborough | |

File:UK road A510.svg A510 | Wellingborough | Cranford St John | Forms part of Wellingborough's outer ring road, passes through Finedon and ends at Junction 11 of the A14 at Cranford St John. |
File:UK road A511.svg A511 | Markfield | Foston, Derbyshire | Historical A50(T). The original route went from Atherstone to Burton upon Trent; the Atherstone-Twycross section became the B4116 and the Twycross-Burton section became a northern extension of the A444 in 1935.
The A511 number also appeared in the "Co-driver: The AA Motorists Companion" (1965) on a route linking the M6 to Wigan. Only the first section east of the M6 was built, however, and it is designated as the A5209. |
File:UK road A512.svg A512 | Loughborough | A42 & A511 near Ashby-de-la-Zouch | |
File:UK road A513.svg A513 | Tamworth | Stafford | Starts in Stafford, running through the town of Rugeley (although the road here is broken at Armitage Road due to recent road changes including the re-routing of the A51 which is now the Rugeley Eastern By-Pass (which runs south to Tamworth). |
File:UK road A514.svg A514 | Derby | Swadlincote | It is a 15-mile (24 km) stretch of single-carriageway road which crosses the A5111 Derby ring road before a separated grade junction with the dual-carriageway A50 road. A little further south, the A5132 runs off to the west, just before the A514 crosses the River Trent over the narrow and historic Swarkestone Bridge. The next significant junction is with the A511, where it enters a built up area. The road continues through Swadlincote, and terminates at its junction with the A444 road (52°46′01″N 1°35′33″W / 52.7670°N 1.5924°W) just west of the town.[citation needed] |

File:UK road A518.svg A518 | Uttoxeter | Telford | Between Uttoxeter and Stafford it is a single carriageway, with a staggered junction with the dual carriageway A51. Entering Stafford from the east, it passes through the former Stafford Beaconside campus of Staffordshire University before hitting a roundabout with the A513, which at this point is named 'Beaconside'. It then heads into Stafford as 'Weston Road', passing around the town centre and heading out along 'Newport Road' and under the M6 motorway towards Telford.[citation needed] |
File:UK road A519.svg A519 | Newcastle-under-Lyme | Newport | At Newport it meets the A518 and A41. It heads broadly north, passing via Eccleshall, junction 15 of the M6 motorway, and then meets the A53 and various other roads in Newcastle-under-Lyme town centre. The road follows the first part of the route of the medieval road from Shrewsbury to York, which passed through the ancient Forest of Lyme. Prior to Tudor times, this was the only major highway from the West Midlands to the North.[citation needed] |

The original A563 appeared in the 1922 Road Lists as "Liverpool - Manchester (Proposed new road)"; the route never appeared on any maps nor did it appear on the ground. A 1932 map does show a proposed A road between Walton, Liverpool and Pendlebury, Salford; this opened in 1934 as the A580, although it is likely it took over at least some of the concept of the A563. It forms a near-complete circuit except for a gap of around 2.2 miles (3.5 km) in the east of the city. An indirect route linking the gap involves the (A47) A6030, and A6. The A563 was formerly referred to as the Outer Ring.[citation needed] |
File:UK road A564.svg A564 | Unused | The original A564 went from the A59 in Liverpool to the A567; rarely appears on maps due to its short length, and as a result it is unknown when the route was decommissioned, but it is now part of the A567.

File:UK road A5069.svg A5069 | Unused | Ran between the A58 and A6 in Westhoughton along Park Road. Became a part of the A58 in 1970 when it was rerouted due to extension of the M61. | |
File:UK road A5070.svg A5070 | Unused | Originally allocated to a loop off of the A59 through downtown Ornskirk. The A5070 was little more than an interim number pending the completion of the A59 bypass, after which it was downgraded to Class II status by 1926, possibly as B5319.
Used a second time by 1926 from Hinckley to Stoney Bridge as an upgrade of the B579. The eastern section (along with the A46) was downgraded to the B4069 (now the B4669) due to completion of the M69. The remainder was downgraded in 1990 to the B4669 (an out-of-zone number as it is north of the A5) when the A47 Hinckley bypass opened. | |

File:UK road A5103.svg A5103 | Manchester city centre | M56 J3 near Wythenshawe | Commonly referred to as the Princess Parkway, although this name only applies to the section between the M60 and the M56. The A5103 between the M60 and the city centre is actually Princess Road. |
File:UK road A5104.svg A5104 | Corwen | Chester | Was the B5104 before it was upgraded.
Originally proposed in 1935 as a renumbering of the eastern end of the A572 between Swinton and Worsley, because it ran parallel to the New Liverpool - East Lancashire Road (the A580). This renumbering never happened, and the route remains the A572. The A5104 was instead used to upgrade a B road with the same number in North Wales. |

File:UK road A5110.svg A5110 | Ran from Conwy to Tal-y-Cafn; former sections of B5106 (former B4407) and B5279. Designated after 1954 (not shown on the OS map that year) but before 1957 (first appeared on the OS maps). The sections got their numbers back before 1962 (number not shown on the map that year, but shown with their original numbers). It is not known why the A5110 even existed in the first place, given that one section is narrow and winding in places. | ||

London Road, previously the former A5 between Emstrey and The Column, created when the original Shrewsbury bypass opened in 1933. Renumbered to A5064 in the 1970s when a new relief route was built around the east side of Shrewsbury; this route took over the A5112 number. It runs around the town centre, to the east.[citation needed] |

File:UK road A5124.svg A5124 | Battlefield | Broadoak | The current road was built in 1998, though the A5124 had a former route along Harlescott Lane, further towards the town centre of Shrewsbury. However, this road was too narrow, had a railway crossing and passed through a residential area. It is now unclassified.[citation needed] |
File:UK road A5125.svg A5125 | Broad Street in Loughborough | The Rushes Loughborough | May not actually exist; the number does not appear in Leicester County Council documents, but it does appear in DfT traffic count data as well as on OS maps. But even these maps are confusing, as it shows the route running along Ashby Street and Ashby Square before ending at unclassified Swan Street, both narrow one-way streets. Google Maps and OpenStreetMap do not even show the number at all, claiming that the route is part of the A512.
Previously allocated to a road from Braunstone to Abbey Park, bypassing Leicester to the east; this was the B583 before it was upgraded. Later became part of the A46 and is now unclassified except the northern end, which is now the B5327. |
