Short B road in Worthing
On OS maps there is a short length of B road shown along Steyne Gardens leading from Brighton Road to Marine Parade. Is this a mapping error/copyright trap or is it really a very short length of dead end B road?
How would you like your grade separations, Sir?

Re: Short B road in Worthing
That is a mistake.
Steyne Gardens is a C class road. C257 to be precise. After exploring the old maps on here, nothing suggested that this was ever an A or B classified road

It could be a copyright trap. The OS also shows part of the A5153 (between the A55 and B4545) at Holyhead as an unclassified minor road.

Re: Short B road in Worthing
Interesting - I'd not noticed before but yes, it is coloured as a B road in the 1:50k 02/16 revision. The 1974 'A' revision just shows it in the same yellow as the other minor roads though.
Is there a road improvement project going on near you? Help us to document it on the SABRE Wiki - help is available in the Digest forum.

Re: Short B road in Worthing
Various sources seem to show all|some|none of the road between the A5 and the B4545 as the A5153 or unclassified. However which one is "correct"....roadphotos wrote: ↑Sun Jan 09, 2022 00:50 The OS also shows part of the A5153 (between the A55 and B4545) at Holyhead as an unclassified minor road.

Re: Short B road in Worthing
Local signage in the area appears to confirm that the road between the A55/A5153 junction and the B4545 is the A5153. Signs at the A55 junction all say that the road towards the B4545 is the A5153. All other signs show the same.

I tool a look at the definitive map on the West Sussex website and it doesnt show anything.
