The remaining seven mile section was deemed unworthy of a three-digit number, so it became the new A3030.

Number later used for a road linking Hilsea and Portsmouth. Became the northern carriageway of the A3 after the M275 was built.

UK road A3018.svg A3018 UnusedConnected the then-A332 (now A3095) to the A331 west of Crowthorne. Became a spur of the A3095 in 1935 after the A332 was rerouted; route later downgraded and is now an eastern extension of the B3348.

An older A3022 existed on the Isle of Wight until 1935 when it became part of an extended A3054. It ran between Newport and Ryde, terminating at the pier.

UK road A3023.svg A3023Near Havant Hayling Island Number is out-of-zone as it was originally the B2149.

Originally ran on the Isle of Wight from Ryde to Sandown. Renumbered as an extension of the A3055 in 1935; the southernmost section is now the B3329.

UK road A3024.svg A3024 Southampton M27 J8Number also appeared in the 1974 AA Touring Guide to England for York Road running along the southern bank of the River Avon in Bristol. This is probably a typo for the A3034 which survived on York Road longer than originally thought. Now part of the A370.
UK road A3025.svg A3025 Southampton Netley
UK road A3026.svg A3026 Ludgershall North Tidworth
UK road A3027.svg A3027 Staplegrove Taunton First used along Queen Street in Salisbury. Decommissioned probably by the 1960s (the number was in use elsewhere), but may have been renumbered as a spur of a nearby route well before then. Now entirely pedestrianized.

Next used in Taunton town center along Upper High Street, connecting the A38 to itself. Because it performed so well in taking traffic out of the center of Taunton, it became a portion of a rerouted A38.

UK road A3028.svg A3028 Durrington A303 via Bulford
UK road A3029.svg A3029 Bedminster Hotwells Originally ran between the A342 to the A345 south of Upavon. Renumbered as a spur of the A345, probably in 1935.

UK road A3031.svg A3031 Chelsea Embankment Battersea Park First used in Poole from the A35 to the then-A348. Became a portion of a rerouted A35 in 1935 and is now part of an extended A350, although the northernmost part is part of an A35 gyratory.

Next used along a former routing of the A33 in Reading. Downgraded to a B road with the same number.

UK road A3032.svg A3032 Hare Hatch Charvil Originally ran along Cornhill, South Street and Weymouth Avenue in Dorchester, cutting the corner between the then-A35 and A37. Renumbered as a portion of the A354 in 1935; now unclassified and partially pedestrianized.
UK road A3033.svg A3033 Weston-super-Mare Uphill Originally the B3127, it previously terminated on the original A370 Locking Road. Although a bypass for the town centre, most traffic seeking to avoid the town centre uses the unclassified Winterstoke Road.

Originally ran along Southbroom Place (now Southbroom Road) in Devizes, cutting the corner between the A342 and A360 and just missing the A361. Now a portion of the A360, although it may have been a spur before this.

UK road A3034.svg A3034 UnusedRan along York Road between the A36 and A38 in Bristol. Initially thought to have become an eastern extension of the A370 in 1935, a mid-1960s map shows the route as still A3034 and the 1974 AA Touring Guide to England shows the road as A3024 (a typo), meaning the route may have had its number until the 1970s; it is now likely that the change was in 1935, but was later reversed as some large scale OS maps from the 1940s and 1950s show the road as A370.

Number possibly later used along Queen Street in Maidenhead; possibly a typo for the A3064 or it may have been changed later on for some reason.

UK road A3035.svg A3035 Southampton Southampton CommonOriginally ran from Axbridge to Cross. Renumbered as a spur of the A371 in the 1935 renumbering.
UK road A3036.svg A3036 County Hall, London Wandsworth Formerly the A303.

UK road A3091.svg A3091 UnusedRan via Sussex Street and City Road from High Street (then the A272) to Hyde Street (then the A3090) in Winchester.

Together with the North Circular Road and Woolwich Ferry, it makes a complete ring-road around Central London and is a former boundary of the Ultra Low Emission Zone. The South Circular is largely a sequence of urban streets joined together, requiring several at-grade turns, unlike the mostly purpose-made carriageways of the North Circular.

In the Great Britain road numbering scheme, the country is divided into numbered zones, the boundaries of which are usually defined by single-digit roads. The first digit of a road's number should be the number of the zone it occupies. If the road occupies multiple zones, then the furthest-anticlockwise zone is the correct one. The following tables list all British roads which are anomalously numbered. Roads in bold lie completely outside their "correct" zone; all other roads run for some length in their "correct" zones but trespass into zones anticlockwise of this zone. A further table lists duplicated road numbers.
