A "B-road" refers to a type of road in the United Kingdom that is typically smaller and less busy than an A-road. B-roads are often used to connect smaller towns and rural areas, providing access to local communities. They can vary in quality and width, and may be single or dual carriageways. B-roads are important for local traffic and can offer scenic routes through the countryside. They are usually marked with a "B" followed by a number, such as B1234. While they may not be as heavily traveled as main roads, they play a crucial role in the overall road network.
