As we drove back along the M62 last night, in weather that could only be described as filthy,
npub1s4qz5e7ym6934szjsf8ca3gzfypthxf7hucr4y7278dc3nyyv20q928xtm (npub1s4q…8xtm) pondered when it was that UK roads got numbers.
I've just remembered to look it up, and apparently the system was fully rolled out in 1923. (A few roads like the A1, got their numbers a couple of years before.)
So, it's happy 100th year to UK road numbers!
