Transport
The district contains only one motorway - a small stretch of the M11 at Bishop's Stortford. The major roads within the district include:
A414 - running West-East from Welwyn to Harlow, through Hertford, where it forms the Hertford by-pass.
A10 - running North-South from Broxbourne towards Cambridge.
A602 - running South East to North West, connecting Ware with Stevenage.
A120 - running West-East connecting the A10 at Standon with the M11 at Bishop's Stortford.
None of the above roads are classified as trunk roads. Therefore they are maintained by Hertfordshire County Council while responsibility for the M11 rests with the Highways Agency.
Stansted Airport is just beyond the edge of the district near Bishop's Stortford, but officially sits within Uttlesford district in neighbouring Essex. Many of the district's towns have rail services into London at King's Cross, Moorgate, and Liverpool Street.

Famous quotes containing the word transport:
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
