Scotland’s trunk road network of 3,500 kilometres is vital because it connects our cities, rural communities and the ports that serve the islands. The trunk road network in Scotland is hugely diverse - from the ten-lane M8 in the centre of Glasgow, to single carriageways in the West Highlands. Although it represents just over 6% of the total Scottish road network it carries 37% of all traffic and 62% of heavy goods vehicles. It is valued at around £12.5 billion and because it is considered to be of strategic importance to Scotland's wellbeing, it is under the authority of the Scottish Ministers.
