Roads and lanes with yet lower traffic densities are designated as unclassified roads commonly using C, D and U prefixes but, while these are numbered, in general this is done for use by the local authorities who are responsible for maintaining them and the non-unique numbering is in a local series which usually does not appear on road signs ...
Bundesautobahn 9 near by Garching bei Muenchen, Germany. At the top of the hierarchy in terms of traffic flow and speed are controlled-access highways; their defining characteristic is the control of access to and from the road, meaning that the road cannot be directly accessed from properties or other roads, but only from specific connector roads.

A road with the same number appears on road signs at the junction of A462 and Bloxwich Road North in Willenhall, West Midlands.

The second use was from the A43 north of Stanion to the A427 in Corby. Upgraded to Class I status as the A6116 in 1935; the section east of Corby is now part of the A6086 and the remainder unclassified.
