Hmm - is that based on where they start??

my first thought was that the 2 major roads I know in North Wales are the A5 and A55
but it is a "4" region

but they start in the "5" region

so I checked and all the others are "4"s so that seems right

As roads wiggle quite a bit, it must be where they commence (A5 is from Marble Arch, I believe)

Most of the A59 is in areas 1 & 6. Wonder how it was decided it started at Liverpool rather than York

From Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Britain_road_numbering_scheme

"The first digit in the number of any road should be the number of the furthest-anticlockwise zone entered by that road. For example, the A38 road, a trunk road running from Bodmin to Mansfield starts in Zone 3, and is therefore numbered with an A3x number, even though it passes through Zones 4 and 5 to end in Zone 6."
