I read with interest the comments that "primary" roads are disappearing! It all seems to be over the worry of ownership and copyright, I am sure that all road names, numbers etc are listed, owned by someone, so how can we put numbers or names to the road. Do the local councils own the copyright of the road name plates? Also what is the worth of a map system which is promoting trunk roads when the government is removing them, we will move to the situation were "our" map shows an extensive trunk road system that does not exist. I always thought "trunk roads" connected major areas of industry/commerce/population. My pennies worth and I am inclined to keep the roads around Scarborough red :-).
