Direction signs

Primary route direction sign

Directions on a primary route (major A-road).

Green background, white text, yellow road numbers

In plain English

Green signs guide you along the big A-roads between towns. The yellow numbers (like A61) are the route; the white words are the places.

Where you'll see it

On main A-roads and at junctions joining them — the backbone of non-motorway Britain.

The common trap

Reading the road number as a speed or a distance. Yellow-on-green numbers are always route numbers.

Memory anchor

Green for the main veins of the road network — with yellow numbers like grid references on a map.
