What is the A14 Road?
The A14 is known as a 'trunk road'. This means it's a very important road for long-distance travel and carrying goods. It's managed by the government. Along its path, it crosses an old, famous road called Watling Street. This ancient route now forms part of the A1.
Where Does the A14 Go?
The A14 travels through several English counties. These include Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, and Northamptonshire. It's a key part of a bigger system. This system is called the Trans European Road Network. This network helps connect different countries across Europe.
The A14's International Connections
Even though the A14 is in England, it's also part of some international routes. These are called Euroroutes. The A14 is part of E24 and E30. These Euroroutes don't have special signs on the A14 itself. Instead, they use the A14's path as part of their longer journey across Europe.
