Thirty major roads were classed as trunk roads, and the <a href="/wiki/Department_for_Transport" title="Department for Transport">Minister of Transport</a> took direct control of them and the bridges across them. The Trunk Roads Act came into force in England and Wales on 1 April 1937, and in Scotland on 16 May 1937. This development did not extend to <a href="/wiki/Northern_Ireland" title="Northern Ireland">Northern Ireland</a>, which has always had a separate system of highway and road traffic law. </p><p>At that time, 4,500 miles (7,200 km) of British roads were classified as trunk roads.

Others, like virtually all British motorways, have entered the system as a result of new construction. As of 2004, Great Britain had 7,845 mi (12,625 km) of trunk roads, of which 2,161 mi (3,478 km) were motorways.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Since 1994, trunk roads in England have been managed by <a href="/wiki/National_Highways" title="National Highways">National Highways</a> (formerly Highways England, and before that, Highways Agency), while <a href="/wiki/Scotland" title="Scotland">Scotland</a> has had responsibility for its own trunk roads <a href="/wiki/Scotland_Act_1998" title="Scotland Act 1998">since 1998</a>; these are currently managed by <a href="/wiki/Transport_Scotland" title="Transport Scotland">Transport Scotland</a>, created in 2006.

Not all primary routes are trunk roads, the difference being that maintenance of trunk roads is paid for by national government bodies rather than the local councils in whose area they lie. Primary routes are identified by their direction signs, which feature white text on a green background with route numbers in yellow. Trunk roads, like other "A" roads, can be either <a href="/wiki/Single_carriageway" title="Single carriageway">single-</a> or dual-carriageway. </p><p>Historically, trunk roads were listed on maps with a "T" in brackets after their number, to distinguish them from non-trunk parts of the same road, however this suffix is no longer included on current <a href="/wiki/Ordnance_Survey" title="Ordnance Survey">Ordnance Survey</a> maps, which simply distinguish between primary and non-primary "A" roads. A trunk road which has been upgraded to motorway standards may retain its original "A" number, but with an "M" in brackets to denote that motorway regulations apply on it. Long distance examples of this are the <a href="/wiki/A1(M)_motorway" title="A1(M) motorway">A1(M)</a> in England, and the <a href="/wiki/A74(M)_and_M74_motorways" title="A74(M) and M74 motorways">A74(M)</a> in Scotland.<sup id="cite_ref-Sabre_Trunk_Raods_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Sabre_Trunk_Raods-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="De-trunking">De-trunking</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Trunk_road&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: De-trunking"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>It is possible for roads to be "de-trunked" – for example, when superseded by a motorway following a similar route – in which case they normally become ordinary <a href="/wiki/A_roads_in_Great_Britain#A_roads" class="mw-redirect" title="A roads in Great Britain">"A" roads</a>.
