Single- and double-digit roads

Road From To Notes
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.
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.
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.
A52 Newcastle-under-Lyme Mablethorpe
A53 Buxton Shrewsbury
A54 Chester Buxton Section between Congleton and Buxton is the most dangerous road in Britain.
A55 Holyhead Chester Also known as the "North Wales Expressway."
A56 Chester A59 near Broughton
A57 Liverpool Lincoln
A58 Prescot Wetherby Becomes A58(M) as part of Leeds Inner Ring Road
A59 Liverpool York

Three-digit roads

Road From To Notes
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.

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.
A502 Camden Town Hendon Through Hampstead, broadly follows the Edgware branch of the Northern Line for 5 stations.
A503 Camden Town Woodford Camden Road and Seven Sisters Road (primary) and Ferry Lane (non-primary), though Holloway and Walthamstow
A504 West Hendon Tottenham Hale via Hendon, Finchley, East Finchley, Muswell Hill, Hornsey and West Green. Has recently been extended to include Broad Lane as the A503 is now two-way.
A505 Leighton Buzzard Great Abington
A506 Walton Stanley Gate nr. Bickerstaffe Part of the road has since been reassigned to the M58 Motorway; in the 1970s part of it served the New Town of Skelmersdale[1]

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).

A507 Buntingford M1 junction 13 The northern terminus and the course of the road have recently been changed to bypass Ridgmont.
A508 Old Stratford Market Harborough
A509 Milton Keynes Kettering Forms the H5 Portway in Milton Keynes.
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.
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.

A524 Unused First used from Fenny Bentley to Great Rowsley; swapped with the B5056 around 1970.

Used again in the 1990s from Swinscoe to Newcastle-under-Lyme (formerly part of the A52). This almost immediately became part of the A52 again, as the old route of the A52 reverted to the previous designation of A523.

A525 Rhyl Newcastle-under-Lyme
A526 Woolfall Heath M57 J3 Woolfall Heath A57 Seth Powell Way

Originally ran from Ellsmere Port to the A51 at Backford; extended to the A51/A5032 in Little Sutton by 1929. Renumbered as an extension of the A5032 in 1935.

Used a second time in 1935 for the Barnet Bypass (former A5092 and A5093). After the pre Worboys direction signs were introduced, it was decided to give the route a more unique number to aid navigation, and it became a portion of the A1 in 1954. Some portions are now the A1(M) and A1001.

A556 Delamere Bowdon Northern section takes traffic from and to M6 J19 and M56 J7 for Manchester Airport and South Manchester

A562 Liverpool Penketh
A563 A6 London Road, Oadby A47, Crown Hills, Evington Leicester Ring Road

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.

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.

Next used in the 1990s to refer to sections of the upgraded A50 (e.g. from Foston to Etwall) before the A50 was rerouted; became part of the A50 in 1998.

A581 Chorley Rufford
A582 A6 near Lostock Hall M55 J2 The "Edith Rigby Way" extension between the A583 and M55 opened in July 2023. Future plan for a new bridge over River Ribble to connect the two ends and create a western bypass for Preston is expected by 2026.

A597 Workington Distington Northside Bridge in Workington, which carries part of the route, destroyed in November 2009 floods and was rebuilt and completed in 2012.
A598 Hampstead North Finchley Commences at the junction of Finchley Road and Hendon Way on the A41. It goes through Golders Green and crosses the A406 and A1 at Henlys Corner, then heads through Regents Park Road to the centre of Finchley and Ballards Lane up to Tally-Ho Corner where it terminates on the A1000.

Originally ran from Maghull to Scarisbrick; did not appear in the 1922 Road Lists, but was upgraded from the B5196 by the end of the 1920s. Renumbered as an extension of the then-A567 in 1935 and is now the A5147.

A599 Haydock Park Racecourse Blackbrook Bypass, St Helens

A5065 Leagrave Luton Originally ran along the southern edge of Ordsall Park in Salford. Downgraded to the B5341 by the mid-1970s; much of the original route is now gone, now part of the park or due to redevelopment.
A5066 Ordsall Lower Broughton
A5067 Gorse Hill, Stretford Manchester
A5068 Skelmersdale Skelmersdale Originally ran from Cornbrook to Picadilly Gardens. Decommissioned when the A57(M) was built, splitting the route in two. The section north of Albion Street was renumbered to the A5103 while the section along Mosley Street was declassified.
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.
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.

A5071 Preston Preston Corporation Street / Moor Lane. Corporation Street was formerly a B road.
A5072 Preston Preston Strand Road
A5073 South Shore, Blackpool Blackpool
A5074 Gilpin Bridge Windermere
A5075 Ambleside Ambleside Some maps erroneously show the route as the A5095.
A5076 Upton Kingsthorpe Formerly part of the A45. The northeastern section was numbered A4508 (A45-A508 link) until the mid-1990s, when the route was renamed A5076.

Previously allocated to a road from the A6 via Stricklandgate in Penrith; this became part of the A6 in a one-way pair.

A5077 Unused Ran from Uttoxeter to the Uttoxeter bypass. After the A50 Uttoxeter bypass was built, the section running through Uttoxeter town center was renumbered: the section running towards Derby was renumbered as an extension of the A518, the section running towards Stoke-on-Trent was renumbered as an extension of the A5077 and the section running along Bradley Street was downgraded. The route is now part of an extended A522.
A5078 Crewe Site of Crewe Locomotive Works
A5079 Levenshulme Longsight
A5080 Liverpool Penketh May have also been used in Northampton as an upgrade of the B5347. The current number is debatable: A5080 is a duplicate number, and some maps indicate the route as part of the A5095. Official documents favor the A5080 number and signage is completely unhelpful.
A5081 M60 Junction 9 Old Trafford Main Route through Trafford Park
A5082 Astley Farnworth
A5083 A582 near Lostock Hall,
Lancashire
A49 near Cuerden, Lancashire

A5086 Egremont Cockermouth
A5087 Ulverston Barrow-in-Furness
A5088 Birkenhead Liscard Originally used for the Watford Bypass, designated upon completion in the mid-1920s. It was later extended south to bypass Edgware and Cricklewood. Renumbered as a portion of a rerouted A500 in 1935 and then to the A41 in the 1950s, the road it bypassed in the first place.
A5089 Anfield Newsham Park Formerly also included more of Liverpool inner ring road, south to Toxteth and Dingle - now B roads
A5090 Litherland Kirkdale
A5091 Ullswater Troutbeck
A5092 Greenodd Grizebeck Originally used for the northern section of the Barnet Bypass (the southern section was the A5093). Renumbered to the A555 in 1935 and then to the A1 around 1954. Much of route now A1(M).
A5093 Hallthwaites Whicham Via Millom

Originally used for the southern half of the Barnet Bypass. Renumbered to the A555 in 1935 and then to a rerouted A1 around 1954.

A5094 A595 A595 Via Whitehaven
A5095 Northampton Northampton railway station
A5096 Unused Ran from the A447 west of Barwell to the A47 near Earl Shilton; originally a portion of the B581 when it was upgraded to Class I status. Declassified following the opening of the A47 Earl Shilton bypass. Number possibly used later in 1971–1972 on the former B582 between Oadby and Wigston (and possibly onward to the A46) and is now the B582 again.
A5097 Unused Ran from the A5039 to Crown Street (former A5048) in Liverpool along Myrtle Street.
A5098 Bootle Walton See Marsh Lane, Bootle.

Four-digit roads (51xx)

Road From To Notes
A5100 Edgware Mill Hill Circus Station Road (Edgware), Hale Lane, Mill Hill Broadway
A5101 Northampton Northampton
A5102 Stockport Wilmslow Shares the same 1 mile stretch of road between Woodford and Bramhall Village with the A5149, where both diverge at each end
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.
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.

A5105 Morecambe Bolton-le-Sands
A5106 A6 near Chorley A49 near Standish
A5107 A short link road in Liverpool carried this number at some point although it's unknown when.
A5108 Llanallgo Moelfre
A5109 Edgware Whetstone Includes the Western section of Deansbrook Lane and Deans Lane, Selvage Lane, then Marsh Lane, Totteridge Common and Totteridge Lane
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.
A5111 Mackworth Spondon Derby Outer Ring Road
A5112 Battlefield Shrewsbury Former portion of the A49.

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.

A5113 Used for the original route of the A49 after the latter was rerouted further east. It was downgraded to the B5476 in the 1970s.
A5114 A55 Llangefni
A5115 Chester Church Broughton
A5116 Chester Moston
A5117 Helsby Sealand
A5118 Penyffordd Llong
A5119 Mold Flint
A5120 M1 J12 Ampthill bypass Section between Dunstable and the M1 downgraded to B5120
A5121 Branston Clay Mills
A5122 Ran from the-then terminus of the A55 (now J11) to the A5 Bangor bypass at what is now A55 J9; route was formerly a portion of the A5 and A487. Now part of the A5 and A487 again when the A55 was extended to Holyhead.

Number also used along Farrar Street in Bangor, but is unknown if the two routes co-existed or not, as no number can be identified for Farrar Street when the A5122 was rerouted.

A5123 M1 J15A & A43 Northampton
A5124 Battlefield Broadoak
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.

Except for the eastern end (which is now unclassified), the route is now part of the A453.

Some maps claim that the section east of the A600 is also unclassified.
