This article attempts to deal with its several aspects by treating some separately, before integrating them with the others into an overall picture, sequentially from its western end.The British Road Numbering SystemIn Britain, roads of greater and medium importance are numbered according to a system in which the smaller number of digits indicates a more major route. The motorways are prefixed by M and the principal other roads by the letter A. The roads A1 to A6 radiate from London with A1 as the axial route of the country, running between London and Edinburgh. Roads with numbers beginning with 1 lie to the east of the A1, clockwise when viewed on a map. The details are explained under Great Britain road numbering scheme.The A151: SummaryIn the early 19th century, the A151 would have been called a cross-road2 since it runs across the pattern of these radial routes. As originally designated, it ran from the A15 at Bourne Market Place (TF095201), eastwards to Fleet Hargate, three kilometres east of Holbeach (TF393250), on the A17. Its present western section, between Colsterworth and Bourne, was part of the B676 road3.}
