<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span style='font-size:

much. The ones I'm using are from the DFT which collates the information from
the regions in its annual report. The relevant section of the current one is under
7.6 in the following doc. <a
href="http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/statistics/datatablespublications/tsgb/2006edition/sectionsevenroadsandtraffic">http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/statistics/datatablespublications/tsgb/2006edition/sectionsevenroadsandtraffic</a><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 color=black face="Courier New"><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>On the other hand, the OS is the body that
has to plot them all so perhaps their figure is better. Its certainly not
comparable since I suspect that the OS includes a lot of ways that are
navigable but are not in the main dft stats.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
