The Great C Road hunt!

Re: The Great C Road hunt!
Edit: I see from this page that part of it is C7115. No idea what the rest is. The list on the page seems a rather short one in relation to the number of C roads I would have expected to exist in Shropshire.
From the SABRE Wiki: Shropshire Council %28Class III roads%29 :
his is a list of C-class roads maintained by Shropshire County Council. It does not include C-class roads within Telford and Wrekin Council.

Re: The Great C Road hunt!
Is there any reason why LAs didn't use Zonal prefixes for their C and Unclassified roads – I admit in a large zone you'd certainly have to go to five digits, or is there just too many short lengths, links, etc., to use a main zone prefix?

Re: The Great C Road hunt!
How do you mean? Some LAs do put their C roads into zones, while others do not. Or do you mean follow the A and B zones, so, e.g. Norfolk would only have 1xxx C roads?Chris56000 wrote:Hi!

Re: The Great C Road hunt!
Because they are unique to each Highway Authority - they are not meant to be numbered nationally. There's nothing stopping an Authority from numbering them however they choose, so they could be.Chris56000 wrote:Hi!

Unfortunately, it's not in a very safe position to stop and take a pic.

My mission is to travel every road and visit every town, village and hamlet in the British Isles.
I don't like thinking about how badly I am doing.
Re: The Great C Road hunt!
According to Northumberland Council's interactive map, the route straight on - yes, straight on! - at this junction is the C287. Can anyone beat this?

Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire both have a few truncated stubs of road that are still classified.
This is part of the C46 (Cambridgeshire), linking the unclassified Great North Road with a hedge, in Water Newton

I'm also impressed with Walsall's Class III network - essentially the C roads are downgraded roads in the town centre, the rest of the metropolitan borough has none. But they have left the numbering with sufficient gaps for future expansion, choosing C1000-C6000 for their six roads...

From the SABRE Wiki: C46 (Cambridgeshire) :
The C46 maintained by Cambridgeshire Council is a link road between Elton and the A1 at Water Newton.
There is a truncated section of the road within Water Newton that the dual carriageway A1 has bisected.
It is described in the freedom of information request as being:

It means that there are oddities such as U99 (Wolverhampton), which is Class III one side of the invisible bureaucrat line, but unclassified on the other - despite clearly having identical traffic flows across the line!

From the SABRE Wiki: U99 (Wolverhampton) :
Wolverhampton City Council's locally classified U99 forms a route across some of the eastern suburbs of the city, and as such is heavily used; indeed more so than the B4484 that follows a similar (though more circuitous) route.
The route starts in Wednesfield at the junction of A4124,
