I am seeking a definitive list of roads which make up the Primary Route Network, and also a definitive list of Primary Destinations. SI 1994/1519 says that a primary route is one which is designated so by the Secretary of State. Therefore I assume the Department holds such a list? If so, I would like to know whether this list is available directly to the general public, and further, whether the government asserts any crown copyright in the use of the list for cartographic purposes by third parties.

Further to this, I wonder the same thing about the entire list of classified roads - A roads and B roads both - is such a list centrally maintained and if so, would the government assert copyright or database right in the list?

Finally, I would like to know if there is any method by which interested parties can be notified of any changes to these lists...

Thanks,
Abi
