Untitled[edit]

I'm sorry, but all articles about roads like that should carry a (Scotland) or other tag in their name. There are roads called A8 in France and very probably other countries as well. David.Monniaux 09:42, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Article Style[edit]

This article is a bit too wordy for me, which is why I've added the {{essay-entry}} template. See A1 and A66 for good examples of how a roads article should be laid out, and not simply a narrative of all its waypoints, which is not useful for an encyclopedia.

Major junctions[edit]

Hi, please note that I have reduced the amount of major junctions from 25 and 13. This should really be ten or under, so if any of you could do that for me, I would be very grateful. Some suggestions of mine would be to remove the A73 (depending on who you ask) and/or the A720 City of Edinburgh Bypass from here. If not then I may do this when I have done everything on my Wikipedia priority list, which will probably be late January or early February 2023 at the earliest.
