Despite having a vast number of available designations, the authorities have still managed to allocate a surprisingly large amount of numbers to more than one road.
This page attempts to list all of the cases where road numbers are duplicated. These will be completely different roads, but with the same number (not including cases where a multiplex occurs - a road sharing the route of another road, such as the M62 in Greater Manchester). Generally these roads will be some distance apart, often 100 miles or more, but some are quite close together.
