In Britain, as in their other provinces, the Romans constructed a comprehensive network of paved trunk roads (i.e. surfaced highways) during their nearly four centuries of occupation (43 - 410 AD). This article focuses on the ca. 2,000 mi (3,200 km) of Roman roads in Britain shown on the Ordnance Survey's Map of Roman Britain.[1] This contains the most accurate and up-to-date layout of certain and probable routes that is readily available to the general public. The pre-Roman Britons used mostly unpaved trackways for their communications, including very ancient ones running along elevated ridges of hills, such as the South Downs Way, now a public long-distance footpath.

  • Highways England by EMAIL to [email protected] A27
    Brighton and Hove Cycling Campaign www. bricycles.org.uk www.facebook.com/Bricycles https://twitter.com/Bricycles 2 Glovers Yard 121 – 123 Havelock Road Brighton BN1 6GN 4 December 2016 Highways England BY EMAIL to [email protected] A27 East of Lewes improvement scheme consultation On behalf of Bricycles (Brighton and Hove Cycling Campaign) and as a Cycling UK campaigner for Brighton and Hove, I am writing in response to the above consultation. I am a frequent cyclist in Sussex and often lead groups of cyclists on day rides into the countryside and through towns. The South Coast Multi Modal study of 2002 1 (to which we gave input) recommended demand management “to control the overall level of future car usage, particularly in locations where there are, or will be, good alternative transport systems” and higher parking charges workplaces and at out of town retail centres, along with charges for entry into the major towns/cities in a coherent regional approach. It is therefore disappointing that millions of pounds have been awarded for the A27 road upgrade to solve ‘congestion’ without reference to a thorough multimodal analysis of transport needs and the development of a region wide strategy addressing public transport, walking & cycling aiming to minimise the use of the private car as suggested in the SoCoMMS report. Road funding encourages yet more road traffic (and therefore more congestion) and deprives other modes of much needed investment. Current problems and issues The A27 severs walking and cycling routes. There are few crossing points. Some crossings are hazardous. Roads that join the A27 are also trafficky and unpleasant.
