Good point, I have edited as appropriate to bring it in line with other roads. PD's are only listed when they are on the road in question. jenuk1985 (talk) 18:02, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Renumbered roads.
There is an old road sign in Hindon that shows the A303 was routed through this small town. The road is now B3089, The A303 passes north now but does not look like a bypass at this point. Does anyone know more. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.156.207.217 (talk) 21:31, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
Sorry my mistake apparently this is an old sign that means "way to A303" (black and white striped bar on yellow background) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.156.207.217 (talk) 22:10, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Proposed Improvements
I amended this section because half the road from Stonehenge westward is single carriageway, (effectively because of Stonehenge). The figure was derived by creating a route in Mapmem OS software. Distances given in following table.
Sorry; this is beyond my skills ... Ritchie333, could you email me whatever you have on the A303 (per this comment and I'll see if I can convert it into KML. My mapmaking so far is just exporting a PNG from OSM and identification of the bounding coorindinates ... your Sabre derived map looks as good as it'll get. --Tagishsimon(talk)12:52, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Looks beautiful Ritchie333 but we could still use an external bing/google map link at the top right you often see on good road articles. I had to click the photo to get an external link to a map!♦ Dr. Blofeld09:53, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"eventually becoming one of the most important in England." -vague, when was this? Seems a bit dubious
I've dropped in a note from the source, which says『In the 18th and 19th century, the annual market at Weyhill Fair was a significant trading event in the calendar both locally and nationally. It is reputed to have been one of the nation’s largest and most famous annual fairs and the most important downland fair in the nation ever held until the 1950’s』Ritchie333(talk)(cont)10:41, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"A number of other schemes for the remainder of the below-standard parts of the A303 have been considered,[46] but then cancelled in 1998.[4" -a bit vague, are there any examples you could briefly identify?
I've pulled some information out of the source, and clarified. I don't believe it's OR to transcribe a source saying "Sparkford - Ilchester" as "around Yeovilton". Ritchie333(talk)(cont)10:41, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I've commented the link out as it just doesn't seem to want to play ball. There are some instructions here but that's more geared to around creating a trace from scratch, not reuse something that already works. I'll have to ask around. Ritchie333(talk)(cont)11:55, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
