BRITISH ROADS
The United Kingdom has a well developed network of roads. The total length of these roads is about 262,300 miles (422,100 km). Road distances are shown in miles or yards and UK speed limits are indicated in miles per hour (mph).
The earliest specifically engineered roads were built during the British Iron Age. The road network was expanded during the Roman occupation. Some of these survive and others were lost. New roads were added in the Middle Ages and from the 17th century onwards. The modern network was subject to major development from the 1950s to the mid-1990s.
