* Many country roads follow the routes of the first tracks.

* The most important roads are called motorways.

* A motorway is named with the letter M, Followed by a number,e.g M1, M27

* Motorways have two or more lanes in each direction,separated by a central barrier.

* They have no Sharp bend,steep hills,crossroads, round about or traffic lights

* Other Important main roads are called ' A ' Roads. e.g A1, A653

* Many ' A ' roads have just one lane in each direction. When they have two or more lanes, they are called dual carriage.

*Many 'A' roads are built like motorways, but others have traffic lights, crossroads, round about and steep hills.

* Minor roads are not as important as motorways or 'A' roads. They have names like B113 or B723.

* Factories and shops need a good road network to move their goods.

* If an area has good roads, new factories , offices and shops may be built there attracting new jobs.

* Many factories and supermarkets are now built on the outskirts of a town where roads are less busy than those nearer the middle.

* Houses , Schools, and hospitals also need good road network.
