From ancient Roman routes to modern motorways, the UK roadways are more than Termac and Traffic – they are the arteries of a nation. They carry history, combine communities, and provide beautiful paths through some of the world’s most breathtaking scenarios.
🛣 A network built for centuries
The UK’s road system has been the most developed in the world, with a network that includes more than 200,000 miles of motorways, A-roads, B-roads and rural lanes. Many major roads originally follow the paths launched by Roman, making every journey a ride through time.
🚗 Motorway: fast, functional and familiar
Motorway-like M1, M6, and London circular M25-are high-speed spine of British travel. Buced for efficiency, they combine major cities and regions, play an important role in commerce, commuting and holiday travels are the same.
🌄 Beautiful route driveable
Not all roads are built for speed. Some are made for souls. A82 through Scottish Highlands, the A39 Atlantic Highway in Cornwall, and the Causeway coastal route in Northern Ireland offers a surprising drive full of natural beauty, history and attraction.
⚠ Driving with care
In the UK, we drive to the left, and roundabouts are more common than traffic lights. Roads are usually well maintained, but in rural areas, you can find narrow streets, stone walls and topical herds of sheep-so be cautious!
🏞 Roads with character
In historical cities, every road in Britain has its own character from Cobblestone roads to modern city ring roads. Whether you are navigating London’s stirring roads or enjoying a peaceful drive through the lake district, the road becomes a part of the road experience.
In the UK, roads are not just how you get somewhere – they are part of the journey.
