	Minffordd	Caernarfon	The current route was formerly A487 before it swapped numbers. First used from the A44 in Llangurig to the A492 east of town, forming one side of a triangle. Became a spur of the A492 in 1935, but after the A492 was declassified and closed in the 1980s, the route became part of the A470. Next used in 1935 from the A489 in Tremadog to the A499 in Llanwrda; this was originally the B4410 before it was upgraded to Class I status. Became a part of the A487 in the 1960s after it swapped numbers; the old route of the A487 is now the current A4085.
	Capel Curig	Caernarfon
	Bangor	Bangor	Originally ran from the A5 at the south side of the Menai Suspension Bridge to the A499 near Capel-y-Graig. Became a portion of the A487 when it was extended north to the A5.

	Alperton	Wembley Park
	Wembley	North Harrow	Used to run beyond North Harrow along George V Avenue to Hatch End, but this became part of the A404 in the 1980s. Originally ran from the A404 to the A416 in Amersham. Became a spur of the A404 in 1935 and is now part of the A4154.

	Unused		Ran from A38 in Claypits to A419 (now Bath Road, Alkerton Road and Spring Hill); section east to Stonehouse became part of the A419 when the M5 was built, while the old route of the A419 became the B4008.
	Minworth	Kingsbury	The current A4097 was originally mostly unclassified except for the part between Minworth and A446 which originally formed part of the B4141 (which briefly started at Salford Circus) before the section now part of the A38 became the A4097. The B4141 was then extended to the A423 (now A51) near Kingsbury. Upon completion of the Sutton Coldfield bypass, the A38 took over the route of the A4097 and the B4141 was then upgraded to the A4097 as it is today.

	A449 in Little Malvern	A44 Pershore	Upton-upon-Severn to Pershore originally part of A440. The section heading north from Pershore town centre was previously part of the B4082.
			The original A4105 is now the B4218 in Malvern but was originally the B4217. A later A4105 formed a short link between the A49 and A456 in Brimfield Herefordshire, having previously been upgraded from unclassified to the B4528. Classified to A road status in 1971, it was declassified a few years later when the Brimfield bypass opened.
	Bridgend	Porthcawl
	Bwlch y Clawdd	Port Talbot
			First used in the mid-1920s from Cymer to Glyncorrwg when the B4185 was upgraded to Class I status. This became an extension of the A4063 in 1935 when the A4107 replaced the A4063 west of Cymer and has since been declassified. The second A4108 ran from Gelilydan to Congl-y-wal, created around 1947 when the B4408 was upgraded to Class I status. Later became part of the A470 to create a north–south cross-country route through Wales.
	Aberdulais	Glynneath
	Leintwardine	Hereford
	Near Whitney-on-Wye	Kington
	Tenbury Wells	Eardisley
	Bromfield	Knighton
	Allesley	Willenhall	Previously part of the A45 before it was re-routed to run south of Coventry.

	Templeton	Cross Hands	Was B4315 until 1935. Originally ran from Aberaeton to Lampeter; this was previously the B4340 before it was upgraded in the mid-1920s. Became part of a rerouted A482 in 1935.
			This was used for the original route of the A40 in Carmarthen when the Inner Relief Road opened and the A40 was rerouted along Morfa Lane. Due to the narrowness of the old A40 route, the A4116 was later declassified. First used between Stroud and Cirencester, designated in the mid-1920s when the B4069 was upgraded. Became part of a rerouted A419 in 1935.
	Near Bewdley	Ludlow	Passes Titterstone Clee Hill at 381 metres above sea level.
	Dyfatty Street, Swansea	Port Eynon
	Tonypandy	Cardiff Bay	Originally began at Llwynypia but following the completion of the Porth Relief road the road became part of the A4058 Treorchy to Pontypridd route.
	Llanbadarn Fawr, Aberystwyth	Ponterwyd	It runs parallel with the A44, but on the other side of the Rheidol Valley.
			This was used for a short road in Wednesbury which ran along High Bullen from the A461 High Street to the A462 Upper High Street. It was classified in 1926 and was declassified some time later, possibly when the A461 was rerouted although this is uncertain.
			Cut the corner between the A425 and A423 south of Southam, designated in 1927. Unlike other short link roads, the A4122 did not become a spur in 1935, but kept its number. Now part of the A425 itself.
	Wolverhampton	Harborne (Birmingham)	The road continued from the current terminus in Harborne to the A441 just north of Kings Norton along the current route of the A4040 from the 1930s to the 1960s.

	Wolverhampton	Brownhills	Wednesfield town centre bypassed in 2000s. Former route between Wood End Road and Wednesfield High School renumbered B4484. The A4124 ran only between Wolverhampton and Bloxwich from 1928 to the 1980s but the entire route was originally numbered B4155.
	Northwood	Bushey	Originally ran from Little Mill to Abergavenny; this was the B4245 until the late 1920s. Renumbered as a northern extension of the A4042 in 1935.

	Solihull (M42 J5)	A4177 at Five Ways, Warwickshire	Previously part of A41; section renumbered when an extension of the M40 motorway opened. The southern end of the road lies midway between Knowle and Warwick. Originally the southwestern portion of the Oxford Ring Road, from Botley to South Hinksey. Extended along the old A40 in the 1930s when it was moved to the Oxford northern bypass. The bypass was extended north around 1960, allowing the A34 to take over the southern extension of the A4141. The remainder later became the B4044.
	Heyford Hill, Oxford	Headington	Part of the Oxford Ring Road
	Llanfoist	Abergavenny
	Pear Tree, Oxford	Redbridge Park and Ride
	Watford	Rickmansworth
	Milton Keynes	Hemel Hempstead	Section between Leighton Buzzard and Hemel Hempstead downgraded to B440 in 2017. Only a small stretch connecting the A414 and A4251 remains as the A4146 in Hemel Hempstead. Forms much of H10 Bletcham Way, V11 Tongwell Street and a small portion of H6 Childs Way in Milton Keynes.
	Hemel Hempstead	St Albans
	Bescot	Bescot	Walsall Ring Road
			Wolverhampton Ring Road Originally the northern section of the Gloucester Ring Road. Later switched to a section of leftover A40 in the center of Gloucester (the ring road was renumbered to A40); became a portion of the A417 by 1946 and is now unclassified and partially pedestrianized.
	A48 at Elton, Gloucestershire	A4136 at Nailbridge	Through the Forest of Dean, main town on this road is Cinderford

	Amersham	Amersham on the Hill	Originally ran from Ledbury to Ridgeway Cross; north of Ledbury was the southern end of the B4214 and the section from there via Bosbury to Westfield was the B4128. Downgraded by the 1970s; the B4214 got its section back while the remainder is now the B4220.
	Bourne End	Reading	By way of Little Marlow, Marlow, Medmenham, Henley-on-Thames, Lower Shiplake and Caversham
	Aylesbury	Aylesbury	Part of Oxford Road, connects A413 and A418.

	Bow Street, Aberystwyth	A44	Acts as a by-pass around the northern part of Aberystwyth.
	Newport Road, Cardiff	Llandough	Former A4055 and B4260. Number previously reserved in 1935 for upgrading the B489 to form a Swindon-East Anglia route with the A5160 (proposed to be used instead of the A505 for the A505/A601 route for number continuity). But the tonnage was not enough (and it was never going to be) to upgrade the road to Class I, so this proposal fell through and the route remains the B489.
	Ely Bridge, Cardiff	Southern Way, Cardiff	Runs along a part of the old A48.
	A4 at Sea Mills	A4018 at Westbury-on-Trym	Sylvan Way and Canford Lane

	Oxford	Kidlington	Banbury Road
			Ran from the A38 to the A456 in Birmingham. Originally numbered B4129.
	Highgate	Sparkbrook	Connects A41 to A4540/A435.
	Woodsetton	Dudley	Originally ran between West Bromwich and Smethwick; initially numbered as B4168 and was the A4031 briefly in the late 1970s before becoming the A4168. However the real A4168 is in Dudley, making this use a duplicate. In 2004 the route was correctly renumbered to A4252, although some signs on the roundabout and approaches still showed A4168 as of December 2017.
	Shifnal	Much Wenlock	The section immediately south of Shifnal was turnpiked in 1763 as one of a number of roads from Stafford and Newport, but leaves this turning sharply westwards, along a road formerly part of the Madeley turnpikes. It ends when reaches the present A442 road, but resumes a short distance further north, becoming a southern bypass for Telford. It then crosses Buildwas Bridge and runs to Much Wenlock.
			Ran from Coventry City Centre to Keresley Green Road, originally part of the A423 until 1973. Downgraded to a portion of the B4098 in the late 1980s.

	Oxhey	Watford
			Ran along Wembley Hill Road, Empire Way and Bridge Road in Wembley; originally part of the B4565 and A4089. The section along Bridge Road returned to the A4089 while the remainder became the A479 (possibly a typo) when the new Wembley Stadium opened in 2007.
	Yeading	Northwood	Starts at the White Hart Roundabout in Yeading at a junction with the A312. The section between this roundabout and the Polish War Memorial used to be the B455 but was "double-upgraded" to primary route status when the A312 Parkway bypass was built during the mid-1990s. Then becomes West End Road, High Street (Ruislip), Bury Street and Ducks Hill Road heading north towards the A404 Rickmansworth Road.
			Not shown on maps; only appears in the 2005 DfT Road List as running along Roebuck Lane in West Bromwich, formerly B4168. If the number was used, it was probably for a short time in the late 1960s as the route was split by the M5 in the early 1970s. The nearby A4252 now serves A4181's function.
	West Bromwich	West Bromwich
	Abingdon	Lodge Hill	Oxford Road, Abingdon. This road was formerly part of the A34. The remaining part of the road between Lodge Hill and Hinksey Hill near Oxford has since been unclassified.

			Ran from Porth to Trehafod, was the A4058. Downgraded to a portion of the B4278, but although there is evidence the A4225 number may still exist, it may be no more than a mapping error, as the current reference to it is on Google Earth.

A4511 - A4531	Unused
			Ran from Malvern Link to Great Malvern; created in the 1960s when the A440 was decommissioned. The A4532 took over the westernmost section of the ex-A440 as well as the northernmost section of the B4208.

			Appears on OS Landranger maps running from the A442 to the Priorslee Roundabout at the then-A5, A464 and B5061 via the old M54 J5. The section between the A442 and M54 may have had the A4539 number with the remainder up to the A464 as part of the A5 (this is possible because the number on the map is as long as the section mentioned), but no further maps showing the number have been found.
	Birmingham Ring Road		The Middleway. The name stems from the road originally being designated as the Middle Ring Road. It is now the only one of Birmingham's Ring Road to be completely dual carriageway.
			Ran from Meole Brace to The Column, forming the start of the Shrewsbury eastern bypass. Renumbered to the A5112 except for a small section at the northern end that is now part of the A458. Whether or not the road was out-of-zone is debatable: while the road was on the wrong side of the A5 Shrewsbury bypass, it was on the correct side of the original A5.
A4542 - A4544	Unused
	M42 J5A	Clock Interchange	This road opened in December 2024. Number chosen "because of its significance linking it with the A45 Clock Interchange which is part of the network already used by motorists"

			Shown in a 1975 AA Touring Guide town plan for Birmingham on Harborne Lane in Selly Oak as headed for the "Ring Road (A4723)". As Harborne Lane is part of the A4040 (Birmingham Ring Road), the "A4723" is probably a typo for the A4123.
			Ran from Piccadilly Circus to Charing Cross Road in London via Coventry Street (may be a typo for A4201, but could be genuine).
