  Buckinghamshire Highways Inspectors carry out monthly Highways Safety Inspection Policy on all A and B roads across the County, they will identify any safety defects and arrange to have the appropriate action taken.

  A Roads are classed as major roads that link regional towns and cities. They are also sometimes referred to as 'trunk' roads, these can be either single or dual-carriageways and are found in both rural and urban areas.

  B Road have lower traffic densities than the main trunk roads, or A roads. This classification has nothing to do with the width or quality of the physical road, and B roads can range from dual carriageways to single track roads with passing places.
