I'm trying to think if there are any iconic roads in Britain, the way that Route 66 is in America. Ireland has the N17 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32-WdYOeJLk ). The M1 is pretty famous - it runs up and down the country like a spinal column - but I can't think of any songs. The M25, which goes round London, is known for its traffic jams and gave Orbital their name ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bV-hSgL1R74 )…

Britain's longest road, the A1. Very scenic in places, and can be wild in winter. The BBC even made a series about it [0]. Apropos of the Wikipedia article and out of general interest, any HN'ers closer to the zone 2 roadsign shown than me? (just off the A281 at Partridge Green).
