Priority routes are determined as:
++ Non-trunk Motorways and 'A' roads which are the main routes across Lancashire;
++ 'B' roads which are routes in and out of towns; roads which lead to hospitals, emergency service stations, main employment centres, and important public transport routes;
++ Single routes into villages.
