Under EU Directive 89/460/EC, the PRN must provide unrestricted access to 40 tonne vehicles. Since 1989, the Department for Transport has paid for the strengthening of all bridges and other structures on the PRN to meet this standard – a programme that is now complete. Should a local highway authority wish to alter a primary route, it should bear the obligations of this directive in mind. It is the responsibility of the authority to ensure that all infrastructure on the new primary route is of an appropriate standard. The Secretary of State retains ultimate legal responsibility for the PRN. They may exercise these powers if an authority has managed or developed the PRN in its area to the significant detriment of road users or neighbouring authorities, or for other reasons of policy. Applicability

B road – second tier in the classified road system. Identified by the local highway authority and approved by the Secretary of State. Each B road is given a unique identifying number from a list maintained by central government. All sections of the strategic road network and primary route network which are not classified as motorways are classified as A roads. must keep records and inform the National Street Gazetteer, Ordnance Survey and the department of any changes All primary routes (other than those included on the PRN because they are trunk roads [footnote 1]) consist of an A road or sequence of A roads, forming a continuous route between two primary destinations.

an unclassified road will generally have very low significance to traffic, and be of only very local importance. Edwin Lasscelles [Edwin Lascelles], Gawthorpe [medieval predecessor of Harewood House, Yorkshire], 1774-1781 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.The SRN is connected to the local road network, and the National Highways plays an important role in aiding navigation by signing destinations from its roads. Where a classification or PRN decision is likely to affect the SRN, the relevant authority should inform the National Highways. Local highway authority responsibilities

The government consulted on these proposals in February 2011 and issued a consultation response in December of the same year. A road – highest class of classified road, and top tier of the roads classification system. They are identified by the local highway authority (where they are not in the SRN) and approved by the Secretary of State. Each A road is given a unique identifying number from a list maintained by the Department for Transport. The department will continue to monitor the length of different road categories in each local authority area for statistical reasons, and to identify significant changes that could trigger intervention on behalf of the Secretary of State. Consultation with the general public A primary destination does not refer to a specific point on the ground. The end-point of a primary route is likely to depend on the layout of the road network. In some cases, it may also reflect a decision about what is the most important location nearby - for example, Grimsby could refer to the town or the major port. It is for the local highway authority to decide where the primary route should end, consulting with nearby authorities and the National Highways where they are affected. Onward signing should be provided where appropriate. NB. Primary destinations in Greater London, other than Heathrow Airport, are usually only signed within the boundary of the M25)

Authorities may want to consider whether a road’s classification should be associated with a particular standard of maintenance, or any other operational consideration. This is entirely a matter for the individual authority.
