| 摘要： | Before road numbering was introduced, local authorities found it difficult to keep track of maintenance work, central government had no accurate measure of how far apart towns were, or what state any of its roads were in. Travellers had difficulty finding their way around, because one road was much like every other, and road signs were poor. The Ministry of Transport was formed in 1919 and given authority to classify highways and allocate funding for road maintenance. The definitive list of major roads was published on 1 April 1923, following consultations with local authorities. Each road was given a single letter, denoting the road's category, and a subsequent number of between one and four digits. |
