List of M1 roads facts for kids

Roads are super important! They help us travel from one place to another, whether it's for school, holidays, or delivering goods. To keep things organised, roads often have special names or numbers. One common way to name important roads is by calling them "M1".

The "M" often stands for "motorway" or "main road," showing that these are usually big, important routes. These roads are often designed for faster travel and connect major cities or regions. Different countries use the "M1" designation for their own important roads. Let's explore some of them around the world!
