The A516 road is a road in Derbyshire that runs from the A50 Junction 5, to the A601 in Derby. The road is used mostly for traffic flowing from the A50 to the A38.
The road begins as Derby Road in Hilton, South Derbyshire, at a junction with the A50 ( 52°52′37″N1°37′31″W / 52.8770°N 1.6253°W ). The former route through Hilton is now the A5132. The trunk road bypasses Etwall crossing the former GNR Derbyshire and Staffordshire Extension which is now a cycle route (Route 54), finishing at a roundabout; the £2.6m bypass opened in February 1992. At the roundabout on the left is the large Seven Wells pub. The road passes the TOTAL Etwall Road Service Station on the right and climbs a hill. Approaching Mickleover, it becomes a dual-carriageway. Passing the Mickleover Court Hotel, the road enters the City of Derby. The road used to pass through Mickleover, which is now the B5020. The £5.2m Mickleover bypass opened on 19 February 1975. This included two junctions with the A38. It shares the route with the A38, at which point it is three lanes, passing the Mickleover Golf Course to the right. It meets the B5020 former route at a large roundabout becoming non-trunked. On the left is The Mallard, a Beefeater pub next-door to the Derby West Premier Inn, and on the right is the newly extended Royal Derby Hospital. As the dual-carriageway Uttoxeter New Road it meets the A5111 Kingsway at traffic lights. It is dual-carriageway, passing the Bemrose Community School on the right, to another set of traffic lights, at which point the former Uttoxeter Old Road is to the left. It is single carriage way all the way through California, Derby to the A601 at Stafford Street junction ( 52°55′17″N1°29′09″W / 52.9213°N 1.4858°W ). A new roundabout is being constructed here as part of the Connecting Derby improvement.

The A6 is one of the main north–south roads in England. It runs from Luton in Bedfordshire to Carlisle in Cumbria, although it formerly started at a junction with the A1 at Barnet in north London, and is described as running from London to Carlisle.
The A38, parts of which are known as Devon Expressway, Bristol Road and Gloucester Road, is a major A-class trunk road in England.
The A34 is a major road in England. It runs from the A33 and M3 at Winchester in Hampshire, to the A6 and A6042 in Salford, close to Manchester City Centre. It forms a large part of the major trunk route from Southampton, via Oxford, to Birmingham, The Potteries and Manchester. For most of its length, it forms part of the former Winchester–Preston Trunk Road. Improvements to the section of road forming the Newbury Bypass around Newbury were the scene of significant direct action environmental protests in the 1990s. It is 151 miles (243 km) long.
The A57 is a major road in England. It runs east from Liverpool to Lincoln via Warrington, Salford and Manchester, and then through the Pennines over the Snake Pass (between the high moorlands of Bleaklow and Kinder Scout), around the Ladybower Reservoir, through Sheffield and past Worksop. Between Liverpool and Glossop, the road has largely been superseded by the M62, M602 and M67 motorways. Within Manchester a short stretch becomes the Mancunian Way, designated A57(M).
The A61 is a major trunk road in England connecting Derby and Thirsk in North Yorkshire by way of Alfreton, Clay Cross, Chesterfield, Sheffield, Barnsley, Wakefield, Leeds, Harrogate and Ripon. The road is closely paralleled by the M1 motorway between Derby and Leeds.

However, the middle section of this mainly single-carriageway road has largely been downgraded to B roads or unclassified roads following the construction of the parallel M42-A42 link around 1990. The M42 was originally meant to pass further north than it does, and to join the M1 at Sandiacre in Derbyshire. The M42/A42 does not enter Derbyshire, but instead joins the M1 closer to the A453 junction at Kegworth. The A42 shadows the former A453 from Appleby Magna to Castle Donington. The road historically connected the East Midlands with the West Midlands.
The A54 road is a road in England linking Chester in Cheshire with Buxton in Derbyshire. Its route through both urban and steep rural areas presents a challenge to Cheshire County Council in maintaining the safety of the road. Many years ago it was the main east–west route in Cheshire. The importance of the A54 through Middlewich and Winsford decreased in the 1970s and 1980s with the building of the M56 motorway and dualling of the A556 at Northwich. The section through Winsford carries approximately 30,000 vehicles per day.
