The UK motorway network is a system of major roads designed for fast-moving traffic. It consists of over 2,300 miles of motorways that connect cities and regions across England, Scotland, and Wales. These roads are built for high-speed travel, with multiple lanes and limited access points to enhance safety and efficiency. Motorways in the UK are identified by the letter "M" followed by a number, such as M1 or M25. They are maintained by National Highways, which ensures that the roads are safe and well-kept. Motorways also feature rest areas and services for drivers, making long-distance travel more convenient.
