The UK's roads come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and varieties
They also contain a number of features, sometimes rather unusual or innovative, with their presence there to help road users in some form of other; this can be either through improving traffic flow or safety.
High Occupancy
Vehicle Lanes
These dedicated lanes have turned up in various locations
across the country, including on the M62 and M606 in West
Yorkshire. But what are they about?
Home Zones
The Dutch idea that was introduced to give pedestrians as
much priority to motorists.
Red Routes
The cheap yet effective way to increase a road's capacity
and traffic flow without having to widen or bypass it.
Reflective Road
Markers
The ingenious idea which
revolutionised road safety... all thanks to a cat!
Unfinished Roads
Many roads were never finished or
built at all, but with this list you can see where they were
meant to go on the ground.
