Anomalously numbered roads in Great Britain

Anomalously numbered roads in Great Britain

In the Great Britain road numbering scheme, Great Britain is divided into numbered zones, the boundaries of which are usually defined by single-digit roads. The first digit of a road's number should be the number of the zone it occupies. If the road occupies multiple zones, then the furthest-anticlockwise zone is the correct one.

The following table lists all British roads which are anomalously numbered. Roads in bold lie completely outside of the "correct" zone; all other roads run for some length in the "correct" zones but trespass into zones anticlockwise of this zone.

Motorways

Irregularities not based on the zoning system
