trunk roads
Primary national routes
Trunk roads are major highways forming the main routes of a national road network, connecting cities and regions.
In Britain, trunk roads are maintained by national rather than local authorities.
The term evokes the image of a tree trunk from which smaller branches extend: The A1 is one of Britain's oldest trunk roads.
