The numbering zones for A-roads in Great Britain

List of A roads in zone 5 in Great Britain starting north/east of the A5, west of the A6, south of the Solway Firth/Eden Estuary (roads beginning with 5).

Single- and double-digit roads

Road	From	To	Notes
	Central London (Marble Arch)	Holyhead	Forms parts of the historical route of Watling Street. The section from M1 J4 north of Edgware to N. of Dunstable is now numbered A5183. The A5 now starts at M1 J11A and runs west to join previous alignment.
	Leicester	Warrington	Becomes M1 motorway between junctions 22 and 24A. Used to start at Hockliffe on A5, north of Dunstable. Gradually cut back to Northampton, then Leicester. Before opening of Derby southern bypass in 1997, it followed present A511 between Markfield and Foston.
	Chester	Kingsbury	Formerly ending at the A5 in Tamworth, the road to the south was the northern end of the A423. When the latter was downgraded north of Coventry, the A51 was extended to the A47. Subsequently, the A47 too was downgraded (to the B1114) and the A51 was then cut back to its present terminus near Kingsbury.
	Newcastle-under-Lyme	Mablethorpe
	Buxton	Shrewsbury
	Tarvin	Buxton	The section between Congleton and Buxton is the most dangerous road in Britain.Template:Fact
	Holyhead	Chester	Also known as the "North Wales Expressway".
	Chester	A59 near Broughton
	Liverpool	Lincoln
	Prescot	Wetherby	Becomes A58(M) as part of Leeds Inner Ring Road
	Wallasey	York

Three-digit roads

Road	From	To	Notes
	Clayton	Nantwich	Known locally as the D Road, either because its route resembles the curved part of a letter D (with a section of the M6 forming the upright) or after the Roman numeral 'D' (500). Originally ran from the A5 at Marble Arch to the A1 at Tally Ho Corner in North Finchley. In 1935 it was extended and rerouted over the A5088 Watford Bypass (the original route became the A598). Renumbered to A41 in the 1950s when it was deemed sensible to give the lower numbers of the bypassed routes to new-build bypasses and radials north of London.
	Westway (London)	Moorgate	Part of the London Inner Ring Road, comprises Marylebone Road, Euston Road, Pentonville Road and City Road. Terminates at junction with London Wall.
	Camden Town	Hendon	Through Hampstead, broadly follows the Edgware branch of the Northern Line for 5 stations.
	Camden Town	Woodford	Camden Road and Seven Sisters Road (primary) and Ferry Lane (non-primary), though Holloway and Walthamstow
	West Hendon	Tottenham Hale	via Hendon, Finchley, East Finchley, Muswell Hill, Hornsey and West Green. Has recently been extended to include Broad Lane as the A503 is now two-way.
	Leighton Buzzard	Great Abington
	Walton	Stanley Gate nr. Bickerstaffe	Part of the road has since been reassigned to the M58 Motorway; in the 1970s part of it served the New Town of Skelmersdale Originally ran from the A5 in Hockliffe to the A508 south of Northampton. Became a southern extension of the A50 in 1935 and has since been downgraded (one section is now B526).
	Buntingford	M1 junction 13	The northern terminus and the course of the road have recently been changed to bypass Ridgmont.
	Old Stratford	Market Harborough
	Milton Keynes	Kettering	Forms the H5 Portway in Milton Keynes.
	Wellingborough	Cranford St John	Forms part of Wellingborough's outer ring road, passes through Finedon and ends at Junction 11 of the A14 at Cranford St John.
	Markfield	Foston, Derbyshire	Historical A50(T). The original route went from Atherstone to Burton upon Trent; the Atherstone-Twycross section became the B4116 and the Twycross-Burton section became a northern extension of the A444 in 1935. The A511 number also appeared in the "Co-driver: The AA Motorists Companion" (1965) on a route linking the M6 to Wigan. Only the first section east of the M6 was built, however, and it is designated as the A5209.
	Loughborough	A42 & A511 near Ashby-de-la-Zouch
	Tamworth	Stafford	Starts in Stafford, running through the town of Rugeley (although the road here is broken at Armitage Road due to recent road changes including the re-routing of the A51 which is now the Rugeley Eastern By-Pass (which runs south to Tamworth).
	Derby	Swadlincote	It is a stretch of single-carriageway road which crosses the A5111 Derby ring road before a separated grade junction with the dual-carriageway A50 road. A little further south, the A5132 runs off to the west, just before the A514 crosses the River Trent over the narrow and historic Swarkestone Bridge. The next significant junction is with the A511, where it enters a built up area. The road continues through Swadlincote, and terminates at its junction with the A444 road () just west of the town.
	Lichfield	Buxton
	Derby	Hilton
	Belper	Ashbourne
	Uttoxeter	Telford	Between Uttoxeter and Stafford it is a single carriageway, with a staggered junction with the dual carriageway A51. Entering Stafford from the east, it passes through the former Stafford Beaconside campus of Staffordshire University before hitting a roundabout with the A513, which at this point is named 'Beaconside'. It then heads into Stafford as 'Weston Road', passing around the town centre and heading out along 'Newport Road' and under the M6 motorway towards Telford.
	Newcastle-under-Lyme	Newport	At Newport it meets the A518 and A41. It heads broadly north, passing via Eccleshall, junction 15 of the M6 motorway, and then meets the A53 and various other roads in Newcastle-under-Lyme town centre. The road follows the first part of the route of the medieval road from Shrewsbury to York, which passed through the ancient Forest of Lyme. Prior to Tudor times, this was the only major highway from the West Midlands to the North.
	Stone	Leek
	Meir	Froghall
	Uttoxeter	Wetley Rocks
	Swinscoe	Hazel Grove	This became part of the A52 (except for the spur in Leek; the current route of the A52 west of there was the A524 at the time), but the changes were undone almost immediately.
	Unused		First used from Fenny Bentley to Great Rowsley; swapped with the B5056 around 1970. Used again in the 1990s from Swinscoe to Newcastle-under-Lyme (formerly part of the A52). This almost immediately became part of the A52 again, as the old route of the A52 reverted to the previous designation of A523.
	Rhyl	Newcastle-under-Lyme
	Woolfall Heath M57 J3	Woolfall Heath A57	Seth Powell Way Originally ran between Newcastle-under-Lyme to Salford; renumbered as a portion of the A34 in 1935. Portions in Manchester are now parts of the A5145, A6010, B5093, and B5117.
	Newcastle-under-Lyme	Congleton
	Wrexham	Shrewsbury
	Hinstock	Nantwich	Originally ran from the A51 in Boughton to the A464 on the northern edge of Hinstock. Renumbered to a portion of a rerouted A41 in 1935; the northern end is now the A5115 after the A41 was rerouted onto the Chester bypass.
	Whitchurch	Northwich
	Madeley Heath	Weston
	Crewe Green	Marshfield Bank, Crewe
	Alsager	Widnes	The road is a primary route between Middlewich and Runcorn and crosses the Runcorn-Widnes Bridge.
	Wrexham	Congleton	Follows the course of one of the historic "Salt ways" that ran from Nantwich into Wales. Part of its central section, between Broxton and Bickerton Hill, is still called 'Salters Lane'.
	Holmes Chapel	Alderley Edge	via Twemlow Green, past Jodrell Bank, via Chelford
	Congleton	Macclesfield
	Knutsford	Buxton	The section between Macclesfield and Buxton has been named the most dangerous road in Britain. See also Cat and Fiddle Road.

Renumbered as an extension of the A5032 in 1935. Used a second time in 1935 for the Barnet Bypass (former A5092 and A5093). After the pre Worboys direction signs were introduced, it was decided to give the route a more unique number to aid navigation, and it became a portion of the A1 in 1954. Some portions are now the A1(M) and A1001.
	Delamere	Bowdon	Northern section takes traffic from and to M6 J19 and M56 J7 for Manchester Airport and South Manchester

	Liverpool	Penketh
	A6 London Road, Oadby	A47, Crown Hills, Evington	Leicester Ring Road The original A563 appeared in the 1922 Road Lists as "Liverpool - Manchester (Proposed new road)"; the route never appeared on any maps nor did it appear on the ground. A 1932 map does show a proposed A road between Walton, Liverpool and Pendlebury, Salford; this opened in 1934 as the A580, although it is likely it took over at least some of the concept of the A563. It forms a near-complete circuit except for a gap of around in the east of the city. An indirect route linking the gap involves the (A47) A6030, and A6. The A563 was formerly referred to as the Outer Ring.
	Unused		The original A564 went from the A59 in Liverpool to the A567; rarely appears on maps due to its short length, and as a result it is unknown when the route was decommissioned, but it is now part of the A567. Next used in the 1990s to refer to sections of the upgraded A50 (e.g. from Foston to Etwall) before the A50 was rerouted; became part of the A50 in 1998.
	Bootle	Tarleton
	Bootle	Orrell Park
	Seaforth	Scotland Road, Liverpool
	Unused		Was the road between Widnes and Lea Green railway station, St Helens (now B5419).

	Chorley	Rufford
	A6 near Lostock Hall	M55 J2	The "Edith Rigby Way" extension between the A583 and M55 opened in July 2023. Future plan for a new bridge over River Ribble to connect the two ends and create a western bypass for Preston is expected by 2026.

	Hampstead	North Finchley	Commences at the junction of Finchley Road and Hendon Way on the A41. It goes through Golders Green and crosses the A406 and A1 at Henlys Corner, then heads through Regents Park Road to the centre of Finchley and Ballards Lane up to Tally-Ho Corner where it terminates on the A1000. Originally ran from Maghull to Scarisbrick; did not appear in the 1922 Road Lists, but was upgraded from the B5196 by the end of the 1920s. Renumbered as an extension of the then-A567 in 1935 and is now the A5147.
	Haydock Park Racecourse	Blackbrook Bypass, St Helens

	Ordsall	Lower Broughton
	Gorse Hill, Stretford	Manchester
	Skelmersdale	Skelmersdale	Originally ran from Cornbrook to Picadilly Gardens. Decommissioned when the A57(M) was built, splitting the route in two. The section north of Albion Street was renumbered to the A5103 while the section along Mosley Street was declassified.
	Unused		Ran between the A58 and A6 in Westhoughton along Park Road. Became a part of the A58 in 1970 when it was rerouted due to extension of the M61.
	Unused		Originally allocated to a loop off of the A59 through downtown Ornskirk. The A5070 was little more than an interim number pending the completion of the A59 bypass, after which it was downgraded to Class II status by 1926, possibly as B5319. Used a second time by 1926 from Hinckley to Stoney Bridge as an upgrade of the B579. The eastern section (along with the A46) was downgraded to the B4069 (now the B4669) due to completion of the M69. The remainder was downgraded in 1990 to the B4669 (an out-of-zone number as it is north of the A5) when the A47 Hinckley bypass opened.
	Preston	Preston	Corporation Street / Moor Lane. Corporation Street was formerly a B road.

	Unused		Ran from Uttoxeter to the Uttoxeter bypass. After the A50 Uttoxeter bypass was built, the section running through Uttoxeter town center was renumbered: the section running towards Derby was renumbered as an extension of the A518, the section running towards Stoke-on-Trent was renumbered as an extension of the A5077 and the section running along Bradley Street was downgraded. The route is now part of an extended A522.
	Crewe	Site of Crewe Locomotive Works
	Levenshulme	Longsight
	Liverpool	Penketh	May have also been used in Northampton as an upgrade of the B5347. The current number is debatable: A5080 is a duplicate number, and some maps indicate the route as part of the A5095. Official documents favor the A5080 number and signage is completely unhelpful.

	Unused		Ran from the A447 west of Barwell to the A47 near Earl Shilton; originally a portion of the B581 when it was upgraded to Class I status. Declassified following the opening of the A47 Earl Shilton bypass. Number possibly used later in 1971–1972 on the former B582 between Oadby and Wigston (and possibly onward to the A46) and is now the B582 again.
	Unused		Ran from the A5039 to Crown Street (former A5048) in Liverpool along Myrtle Street.
	Bootle	Walton	See Marsh Lane, Bootle.

Four-digit roads (51xx)

Road	From	To	Notes
	Edgware	Mill Hill Circus	Station Road (Edgware), Hale Lane, Mill Hill Broadway
	Northampton	Northampton
	Stockport	Wilmslow	Shares the same 1 mile stretch of road between Woodford and Bramhall Village with the A5149, where both diverge at each end
	Manchester city centre	M56 J3 near Wythenshawe	Commonly referred to as the Princess Parkway, although this name only applies to the section between the M60 and the M56. The A5103 between the M60 and the city centre is actually Princess Road.
	Corwen	Chester	Was the B5104 before it was upgraded. Originally proposed in 1935 as a renumbering of the eastern end of the A572 between Swinton and Worsley, because it ran parallel to the New Liverpool - East Lancashire Road (the A580). This renumbering never happened, and the route remains the A572. The A5104 was instead used to upgrade a B road with the same number in North Wales.
	Morecambe	Bolton-le-Sands
	A6 near Chorley	A49 near Standish
			A short link road in Liverpool carried this number at some point although it's unknown when.
	Llanallgo	Moelfre
	Edgware	Whetstone	Includes the Western section of Deansbrook Lane and Deans Lane, Selvage Lane, then Marsh Lane, Totteridge Common and Totteridge Lane
			Ran from Conwy to Tal-y-Cafn; former sections of B5106 (former B4407) and B5279. Designated after 1954 (not shown on the OS map that year) but before 1957 (first appeared on the OS maps). The sections got their numbers back before 1962 (number not shown on the map that year, but shown with their original numbers). It is not known why the A5110 even existed in the first place, given that one section is narrow and winding in places.
	Mackworth	Spondon	Derby Outer Ring Road
	Battlefield	Shrewsbury	Former portion of the A49. London Road, previously the former A5 between Emstrey and The Column, created when the original Shrewsbury bypass opened in 1933. Renumbered to A5064 in the 1970s when a new relief route was built around the east side of Shrewsbury; this route took over the A5112 number. It runs around the town centre, to the east.
			Used for the original route of the A49 after the latter was rerouted further east. It was downgraded to the B5476 in the 1970s.
	A55	Llangefni
	Chester	Church Broughton
	Chester	Moston
	Helsby	A494 near Woodbank
	Penyffordd	Llong
	Mold	Flint
	M1 J12	Ampthill bypass	Section between Dunstable and the M1 downgraded to B5120
	Branston	Clay Mills
			Ran from the-then terminus of the A55 (now J11) to the A5 Bangor bypass at what is now A55 J9; route was formerly a portion of the A5 and A487. Now part of the A5 and A487 again when the A55 was extended to Holyhead. Number also used along Farrar Street in Bangor, but is unknown if the two routes co-existed or not, as no number can be identified for Farrar Street when the A5122 was rerouted.
	M1 J15A & A43	Northampton
	Battlefield	Broadoak	The current road was built in 1998, though the A5124 had a former route along Harlescott Lane, further towards the town centre of Shrewsbury. However, this road was too narrow, had a railway crossing and passed through a residential area. It is now unclassified.
	Broad Street in Loughborough	The Rushes Loughborough	May not actually exist; the number does not appear in Leicester County Council documents, but it does appear in DfT traffic count data as well as on OS maps. But even these maps are confusing, as it shows the route running along Ashby Street and Ashby Square before ending at unclassified Swan Street, both narrow one-way streets. Google Maps and OpenStreetMap do not even show the number at all, claiming that the route is part of the A512.
