The B1540 is Stainton Way, a suburban distributor route to the south of Middlesbrough, serving the estates of Coulby Newham and Hemlington.
Route
History
It is likely that the route was created in 2018 during a "Network Review" by Middlesbrough Council as it appears on a network map supplied by the council in a Freedom of Information request. As of June 2023 the route does not appear on Ordnance Survey mapping or Google Maps, nor does it appear on any signs. Prior to 2018 it is quite possible that the route was part of the C116, which is still extant to the east of the Southern Cross Junction.
