The A1 road in Jersey is a major route on the south of the island and links St. Helier with St. Aubin in the parish of St Brelade. [1]
The A1 road was originally classified in the 1950s, at the same time as all the other A roads in Jersey Before the West of Albert reclamation project in the 1990s, the A1 used to travel along the entire length of the Esplanade Road as a dual carriageway, then form a gyratory around the former abatoire building.
The A1 begins travelling westbound at Liberation Square in St Helier, where traffic running from the East through the tunnel joins with traffic from the town centre (A3) and the Coast road (A16) which connects to the La Collette industrial area. It meets a grade-separated roundabout at a junction with the B92. It continues through the southern edge of town (forming part of the town's ring road). It reaches a junction with the A9 Gloucester Street (which is one-way towards the A1 - to access the A9, traffic must use the B87). After this the road meets a large, busy junction with the A2. Traffic must turn right off the road to continue onto the A1. The A1 now meets a junction with the B87 (down which the St Helier Ring Road continues). A1 traffic now leaves the town along a short stretch of road before arriving in the Ville ès Nouaux (First Tower). The A1 continues to head toward the St Helier border, meeting junctions with the B27 and the A10.
Traffic for the A1 except buses cannot continue on the A1 after its junction with the A10 due to a bus gate. Traffic must instead use the A2. The A1 then continues on as the A11.
Beyond this, the A2 becomes the A1 at Bel Royal. The road continues to the Beaumont filter-in-turn, where traffic can either continue along the A1 to St Aubin and eventually St Brelade or mount Beaumont Hill to reach St Peter.
Much of the middle section of the route runs parallel with the nearby coastal A2 road (Victoria Avenue).

The London Ringways were a series of four ring roads planned in the 1960s to circle London at various distances from the city centre. They were part of a comprehensive scheme developed by the Greater London Council (GLC) to alleviate traffic congestion on the city's road system by providing high speed motorway-standard roads within the capital, linking a series of radial roads taking traffic into and out of the city.
The Jersey Railway was opened in 1870 and was originally a standard gauge railway, 3+3⁄4 miles (6.0 km) long, in Jersey in the Channel Islands. Converted to narrow gauge in 1884 and extended giving a length of 7+3⁄4 miles (12.5 km), the line closed in 1936.
