editLondon Highways
editIn Highways_England#Operating_the_network there is a table of all the regions of UK whose highways are managed. Does London not have any highways? -- SGBailey (talk) 08:54, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, but they are managed by London Streets, not by Highways England.--Shantavira|feed me 09:20, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
- There's no history section on the London Streets article, but I imagine it was formerly the responsibility of the departed Greater London Council. Alansplodge (talk) 17:05, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
- Re-reading the table in the Highways_England article, the section headed "DBFO area 5" says "M25, link roads to GLA Boundary". Not a model of clarity though. The GLA is responsible for Transport for London which in turn is the governing body of London Streets. Alansplodge (talk) 17:31, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
