1In the UK, the Local Government Act 1966 introduced a road classification scheme where busy arterial roads were given a letter and number as a unique identifier. The two classes are “A roads” (e.g., A205) which are the most important (often busiest) routes and “B roads” (e.g., B227) which are of lower importance.
