Road classification uses a common system of route numbering, which is centrally administered for England and Wales by the Department for Transport. In all other respects roads classification is a devolved matter Secondary road – roads that are not principal roads – ie B roads, classified unnumbered roads and unclassified roads. Road types - unofficial The PRN is designed to fit together as a network, and primary routes must link up to one another. If changes are made to a route, it must still form part of a coherent and sensible network. Primary routes must remain reasonably direct and viable for medium - and long - distance travel including, wherever possible, for freight traffic. The following guidance is provided to aid local highway authorities in their decision-making, and in developing policies for managing the PRN in their area. Responsibility

Edwin Lasscelles [Edwin Lascelles], Gawthorpe [medieval predecessor of Harewood House, Yorkshire], 1774-1781 classified unnumbered – smaller roads intended to connect together unclassified roads with A and B roads, and often linking a housing estate or a village to the rest of the network. Similar to ‘minor roads’ on an Ordnance Survey map and sometimes known unofficially as C roads The entirety of the strategic road network forms part of the PRN. For these roads, the highway authority is the National Highways. Primary road network (PRN) – roads used for transport on a regional or county level, or for feeding in to the SRN for longer journeys. Defined as roads that provide the most satisfactory route between places of traffic importance. The PRN includes the entirety of the strategic road network. No roads classified lower than an A road should be included in the PRN. A roads on the PRN are coloured green on most maps, as opposed to the red of ordinary A roads. The Secretary of State retains ultimate power over the PRN. In the case of disputes over the location of a primary route, affected parties may appeal to the Department for Transport for a ruling. This applies both to 12 local authorities concerned with the actions of their neighbours, and to members of the public who are concerned about an authority’s decisions.

What Version

If the principles outlined in paragraphs 3.3 to 3.12 of this guidance have not been followed, there may also be grounds for an appeal. However, the department recognises that it is unlikely to have a better understanding of the local road network than the local highway authority, and generally expects only to intervene in cases where the local decision is clearly unreasonable. newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}[section] This is the example presented in the introduction but it has the additional parameter [section] that restarts the theorem counter at every new section. \newtheorem{corollary}{Corollary}[theorem] An environment called corollary is created, the counter of this new environment will be reset every time a new theorem environment is used. \newtheorem{lemma}[theorem]{Lemma} In this case, the even though a new environment called lemma is created, it will use the same counter as the theorem environment. The Secretary of State retains ultimate legal responsibility for roads classification and the PRN, and retains the right to intervene.

NB. Primary destinations in Greater London, other than Heathrow Airport, are usually only signed within the boundary of the M25) It is generally expected that a primary destination should be linked to all other nearby primary destinations. In some cases, an authority may decide that there is no need for a primary route to link two destinations. In this case, the authority should be able to demonstrate either: It is important that roads classification is consistent from one authority to another. A road should not change its classification solely because of a change of jurisdiction. Unless the agreement of all affected authorities can be obtained, including the National Highways where appropriate, then changes to the primary route should not be made.Classified unnumbered road – third class of classified road, and a tier in the roads classification system. Identified by the local highway authority and approved by the Secretary of State. No number is officially associated with a classified unnumbered road, although the local highway authority is entitled to develop its own methods to identify it. Management of the strategic road network (SRN) remains the responsibility of the National Highways.
