A303 Road

A303 Road

The A303 is a 92-mile long trunk road in England. It is the main road between Basingstoke in Hampshire and Honiton in Devon. The M3, the A303 and the A30 together make up one of the main routes from London to South West England, running from London to Land's End in Cornwall. It is a primary A road throughout its length. Although it follows a similar path to the West of England Main Line, it does not run through or closely bypass Salisbury.

The A303 is subject to several upgrade proposals, some of which have been controversial. Despite being a primary route to southwestern England, the A303 is frequently congested not withstanding the fact that the recommended route from London to Exeter is the M4 and the M5.Congestion is frequently reported on the route's single carriageway sections.
