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.

Famous quotes containing the words roads and/or britain:
“This, my first [bicycle] had an intrinsic beauty. And it opened for me an era of all but flying, which roads emptily crossing the airy, gold-gorsy Common enhanced. Nothing since has equalled that birdlike freedom.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
“Only in Britain could it be thought a defect to be “too clever by half.” The probability is that too many people are too stupid by three-quarters.”
—John Major (b. 1943)
