It's not that straightforward to find a US equivalent to the British classification of B-roads as much of the interior of the US is fairly thinly populated. Probably the closest equivalent is a route between towns on the West or East coast that is not the main route. Pilatus 16:59, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
Kinda, though my experience is that B roads tend to go to places that do not otherwise have A roads. Generally, a secondary route between two places will either have no classification or be a lower grade of A road. Robdurbar 17:41, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
How about the present version? Anyway, I have removed the "often" again, it's at least the intention of town planners to direct traffic along the "A" route. Locals sometimes know better (see the B6373 in Dalkeith, where they re-routed the A68 into Edinburgh. The contrast is with the US, where the distinction between county and state routes is who bears the maintainance, when in the UK non-trunk routes are maintained by the local authority.
