The OS has now downgraded the old A6120 around Leeds to the B6092

Re: A661 at Wetherby (Primary or Non Primary)
Agree that A661 Harrogate to Wetherby is Non Primary
A potential issue that arises is the A58 is depicted as Primary this new sign shows the section from New Ring Road roundabout into the city

Also Google Maps has the A168 from Wetherby to Dishforth as Primary - some road signs agree with that, but most don't. As mentioned old signs left due to cost savings causing confusion

As I recall the A58 was downgraded when the current section A1(M) bypass of Wetherby was opened. By far the fastest way to Leeds is either A64 to North Leeds or A1(M)/M1. Getting from the A1(M) onto the A58 is a bit of a faff as there is no easy way onto the A58 at Wetherby so you have to pick up the A58 at A1(M) J45. Highways England/the Highways agency have been trying to dissuade people from using the A58 for some years now. At J45 there is no signage for Leeds and the signs indicate a non primary road !roadphotos wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 12:33 Both the A661 and A58 at Wetherby are now shown as Non Primary (coloured red) on the Ordnance Survey Landranger (online maps).

You have to take the slip and only then will you see any signage and that just says A58 with no mention of Leeds.

I had to make a couple of trips to Leeds in the last year and took the A1(M)/A64 , mostly because my trip was to an eye clinic just off the A64. Seacroft Hospital to be precise.

Re: A661 at Wetherby (Primary or Non Primary)
The B6902 (former A6120) is now shown correctly on the latest OS online mapping, as has been mentioned it was previously shown as the B6092. I think this means that they now have most of the road classifications around Leeds correct.
