Each road is given a single letter (representing a category) and a subsequent number (between one and four digits).

There are two sub-schemes in use: one for motorways, and another for non-motorway roads.
See the article Great Britain road numbering scheme for the rationale behind the numbers allocated. Depending on the first digit of the road's number see: Zone 1 (road beginning with 1) Zone 2 (road beginning with 2) Zone 3 (road beginning with 3) Zone 4 (road beginning with 4) Zone 5 (road beginning with 5) Zone 6 (road beginning with 6)

In the Great Britain road numbering scheme, the country is divided into numbered zones, the boundaries of which are usually defined by single-digit roads. The first digit of a road's number should be the number of the zone it occupies. If the road occupies multiple zones, then the furthest-anticlockwise zone is the correct one.
