The A70 meets A71, A72, A73, and the historic A74 in that order, plus A76 and A77 in succession, and then even A79.

On a similar theme but getting away from the thread subject, it's possible to drive sections of the A688, A689, A690, A691, A692, A693 directly in sequence.

The A901 in Edinburgh meets the east end of the A902 and the north end of the A903.
