Line 1: Line 1:
'''Primary Destinations''' are the key target destinations (technically, "places of major traffic importance") within the United Kingdom that are shown on direction signs along major roads such as [[Motorways]] and [[Primary Routes]].  These destinations are important key points and are used in combination with local place names that are defined by each local [[Highway Authority]].  Primary destinations will appear above local destinations on direction signs due to a furthest first rule in the design guidance and will generally appear a closest first on route confirmatory signs.

Primary Destinations are usually important towns or cities within their areas, but some Primary Destinations (such as [[Brownhills]] or [[Llangurig]]) are relatively small towns that are located at or near an important junction.  Indeed, some such as [[Scotch Corner]] refer to junctions rather than a town, whilst others (such as [[Erskine Bridge]]) refer to important river crossings.  Important ports and airports are also used as Primary Destinations.
 
 
 
The concept of Primary Destinations was introduced in the mid-1960s in the [[Worboys report]].
 
 
 
== Regional Destinations ==
 
For the purposes of the long-distance directional signing of the British road network, the [[Department for Transport]] (DfT) authorizes the use of a limited number of '''Regional Destinations'''. These destinations, which are distinguished by the use of upper-case lettering are:
 
* NORTH WALES
 
* SCOTLAND
 
* SOUTH WALES
 
* The LAKES
 
* The EAST
 
* The MIDLANDS (also shown as: CANOLBARTH LLOEGR in Wales)
 
* The NORTH
 
* The NORTH EAST
 
* The NORTH WEST
 
* The SOUTH
 
* The SOUTH WEST
 
* The WEST
 
 
 
Within England, ''The NORTH WEST'' is to the west of the Pennines and ''The NORTH'' is to the east of the Pennines. Generally, ''The NORTH'' is preferred to ''The NORTH EAST'', which is usually only used where both ''The NORTH'' and ''The NORTH WEST'' would appear on a single sign.
 
 
 
The NORTH and The SOUTH are used to refer to the relevant areas of both England and Scotland.
 
 
 
=== Inconsistencies ===
 
Whilst the above list contains all the official regional destinations, several more are actually used on signage.  They are:
 
* LONDON
 
* Mid WALES (on roads such as [[M54]] and [[A458]])
 
* ENGLAND (on [[A74(M)]] immediately to the north of the border)
 
 
 
In addition to these three, ''The BRIDGE'' with upper-case lettering of the second word in the style of regional destination appears on the approaches to the [[Runcorn]] – [[Widnes]] Bridge.
 
 
 
== Changes to Primary Destinations ==
 
Primary Destinations were first introduced in 1964, and have been regularly revised since then.
 
 
 
The most recent list across Great Britain is known as [[LTN 1/94]], which was published in 1994.  Since this date, responsibility for Scotland and Wales has passed from the DfT to the relevant devolved administration.
 
 
 
=== England ===
 
The current list for England is based upon [http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/roads/tss/tsmanual/chapter2/primary.pdf a list] published by the [[DfT]] on 18th December 2009, with changes as detailed below.

:Note:  [[Bishops Stortford]] was added in c.1985, and removed again by 1994.
 
 
 
==== 2009 ====
 
December 2009 saw large changes to the Primary Destinations list, with the following changes:
 
 
 
:'''Added:''' [[Altrincham]]{{-}}[[Crewe]]{{-}}[[Ellesmere Port]]{{-}}[[Garston]]{{-}}[[Heysham]]{{-}}[[Huyton]]{{-}}[[Keighley]]{{-}}[[Leigh]]{{-}}[[Manchester Airport]]{{-}}[[Newquay]]{{-}}[[Shepton Mallet]]{{-}}[[Speke]]{{-}}[[Trafford Park]]{{-}}[[Tunbridge Wells]]{{-}}[[Uckfield]]{{-}}[[Wellingborough]]

==== 2011 ====
 
In 2011, Road Classification was handed to Highway Authorities, with the DfT just being oversight for the process. Requests for new primary destinations were consulted on, and seven new Primary Destinations were added:
 
 
 
:'''Added:''' [[Birmingham International Airport|Birmingham Airport]]{{-}}[[Colne]]{{-}}[[East Midlands Airport]]{{-}}[[Minehead]]{{-}}[[Luton Airport]]{{-}}[[Port of Tilbury]]{{-}}[[Thamesport]]
 
:'''Removed:''' [[Stone]]

The five airports and ports added were suggested by the DfT, whilst [[Colne]] and [[Minehead]] were requested by the relevant Highway Authority.  There was a request for [[Marlborough]] to be removed, but this was rejected by the DfT.
 
 
 
==== 2012 ====
 
In 2012, [https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/203664/traffic-signs-manual-chapter-02-primary-route.pdf a revised list of primary destinations] was produced, adding the seven new destinations from 2011 to the 2009 list, plus making the following changes:
 
 
 
:'''Added:''' [[Stone]]{{-}}[[Northwich]]
 
:'''Removed:''' [[Tilbury]]
 
 
 
=== Scotland and Wales ===
 
* Scotland - Using [[LTN_1/94|LTN 1/94]], plus assumed changes as indicated by direction signs and maps
 
* Wales - Using [[LTN_1/94|LTN 1/94]], plus assumed changes as indicated by direction signs and maps
 
 
 
At the time of writing, no official lists post-1994 are seemingly available for either Scotland or Wales.

== Super Primary Destinations ==
 
{{MemberSite|http://www.roadsuk.com/network/destinations/|Roads UK:Primary Destinations}}
 
The following Primary Destinations were, before 1994, considered to be more important primary destinations, signed first:
 
[[Birmingham]], [[Brighton]], [[Bristol]], [[Cardiff]], [[Dover]], [[Edinburgh]], [[Exeter]], [[Fishguard]], [[Glasgow]], [[Great Yarmouth]], [[Harwich]], [[Holyhead]], [[Kingston upon Hull|Hull]], [[Inverness]], [[Leeds]], [[Liverpool]], [[London]], [[Manchester]], [[Newcastle upon Tyne]], [[Portsmouth]] and [[Southampton]].
 
 
 
[[Folkestone]] was also a Super Primary Destination in 1970.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
One can probably add [[Felixstowe]] and the [[Channel Tunnel]] as ''de facto'' Super Primary Destinations just before 1994.
