The B3196 was a short link road in Newton Abbot, connecting the A380 with itself via the station to avoid the centre of town.
It was quickly upgraded to class I, although the short length of the road makes it difficult to determine exactly which number it was given. It could well have become a spur of the A380.
The A380 bypass has now taken that road out of the centre of Newton Abbot. Probably at the same time, the ex-B3196 was downgraded to Class II status once again and is now part of the B3195 - its original number had been reused elsewhere in the county.
