100 years ago last month, the Portway in Bristol opened. Originally allocated to the A36, it was renumbered as A4 in the 1935 numbering revisions. A century later it is still a major link in and out of the city. What are your experiences of it? #bristol #roadgeeks

Have you ever heard of a "motorway by GLC Order"? And what makes them different from ordinary motorways? Find out on the SABRE Wiki! buff.ly/41kzfvY
