A40	City of London (near St. Paul's Cathedral)	Fishguard	The longest A road in Zone 4 at 256 miles long
A41	Central London (near Marble Arch)	Birkenhead	A large section of the former A41, from Bicester to Solihull, was downgraded when the northern extension of the M40 motorway was opened, as was a section in Birmingham due to other road improvements; most of it is now the non-contiguous B4100. A41 rerouted along new dual carriageway, Black Country New Road, between West Bromwich and Wednesbury. Old route through Hill Top renumbered A4196.
A42	Kegworth	Appleby Magna	A continuation of the M42, hence the use of A42 despite being entirely in Zone 5. Previously allocated to a road from Reading to Birmingham; this became part of the A329, the A423 (this section now the A4074 and A4158), and the A34 (section from Oxford to the M42 is now the A4144, A44, A3400).
A43	M40 motorway Junction 10 north of Bicester	Stamford	Formerly continued along present route of B430.

A45	Birmingham	Thrapston	Previously continued along route of current A14 to Felixstowe
A46	Bath	Cleethorpes	The section from Cheltenham to Heath End (North of Stratford on Avon) was mostly reclassified as B4632 and much of what was previously the A435 from Cheltenham to Bidford was renamed the A46. A piece of A438 from M5 J9 to Teddington also became part of the A46.
A47	Birmingham	Lowestoft	The original section between Birmingham and Nuneaton has mostly been now de-classified to B-roads, while the section between Nuneaton and Leicester via Hinckley has been largely de-trunked since the M69 runs a similar route. A12 from Great Yarmouth to Lowestoft redesignated as A47 in 2017.

A4081	Llandrindod Wells	Newbridge-on-Wye
A4082	Whitley, Coventry	Binley, Coventry	Called Allard Way between B4110 and A428. The section between Whitley and the B4110 was originally part of the A423. The A4082 was previously the designated number for a short stretch of the current A4081 in Llandrindod Wells (Ithon Road and Spa Road).

A4084	Unused		Originally ran from Mallwyd to Dolgallau. Became a portion of the A458 in 1935 when it was extended west and is now part of the A470 after it was extended north in the 1970s. Next used in 1935 from the A489 near Cemmaes to Mallwyd on an old section of the A491 (the remainder became the A458, which ironically replaced the original A4084). Became a portion of the A470 in the 1970s after it was extended.
A4085	Minffordd	Caernarfon	The current route was formerly A487 before it swapped numbers. First used from the A44 in Llangurig to the A492 east of town, forming one side of a triangle. Became a spur of the A492 in 1935, but after the A492 was declassified and closed in the 1980s, the route became part of the A470. Next used in 1935 from the A489 in Tremadog to the A499 in Llanwrda; this was originally the B4410 before it was upgraded to Class I status.

A4097	Minworth	Kingsbury	The current A4097 was originally mostly unclassified except for the part between Minworth and A446 which originally formed part of the B4141 (which briefly started at Salford Circus) before the section now part of the A38 became the A4097. The B4141 was then extended to the A423 (now A51) near Kingsbury. Upon completion of the Sutton Coldfield bypass, the A38 took over the route of the A4097 and the B4141 was then upgraded to the A4097 as it is today.

A4105			The original A4105 is now the B4218 in Malvern but was originally the B4217. A later A4105 formed a short link between the A49 and A456 in Brimfield Herefordshire, having previously been upgraded from unclassified to the B4528.

A4107	Bwlch y Clawdd	Port Talbot
A4108			First used in the mid-1920s from Cymer to Glyncorrwg when the B4185 was upgraded to Class I status. This became an extension of the A4063 in 1935 when the A4107 replaced the A4063 west of Cymer and has since been declassified. The second A4108 ran from Gelilydan to Congl-y-wal, created around 1947 when the B4408 was upgraded to Class I status. Later became part of the A470 to create a north-south cross-country route through Wales.

A4115	Templeton	Cross Hands	Was B4315 until 1935. Originally ran from Aberaeton to Lampeter; this was previously the B4340 before it was upgraded in the mid-1920s. Became part of a rerouted A482 in 1935.
A4116			This was used for the original route of the A40 in Carmarthen when the Inner Relief Road opened and the A40 was rerouted along Morfa Lane. Due to the narrowness of the old A40 route, the A4116 was later declassified. First used between Stroud and Cirencester, designated in the mid-1920s when the B4069 was upgraded.

A4120	Llanbadarn Fawr, Aberystwyth	Ponterwyd	It runs parallel with the A44, but on the other side of the Rheidol Valley.
A4121			This was used for a short road in Wednesbury which ran along High Bullen from the A461 High Street to the A462 Upper High Street. It was classified in 1926 and was declassified some time later, possibly when the A461 was rerouted although this is uncertain.
A4122			Cut the corner between the A425 and A423 south of Southam, designated in 1927. Unlike other short link roads, the A4122 did not become a spur in 1935, but kept its number. Now part of the A425 itself.
A4123	Wolverhampton	Harborne (Birmingham)	The road continued from the current terminus in Harborne to the A441 just north of Kings Norton along the current route of the A4040 from the 1930s to the 1960s.
A4124	Wolverhampton	Brownhills	Wednesfield town centre bypassed in 2000s. Former route between Wood End Road and Wednesfield High School renumbered B4484. The A4124 ran only between Wolverhampton and Bloxwich from 1928 to the 1980s but the entire route was originally numbered B4155.
A4125	Northwood	Bushey	Originally ran from Little Mill to Abergavenny; this was the B4245 until the late 1920s. Renumbered as a northern extension of the A4042 in 1935.

The southern end of the road lies midway between Knowle and Warwick. Originally the southwestern portion of the Oxford Ring Road, from Botley to South Hinksey. Extended along the old A40 in the 1930s when it was moved to the Oxford northern bypass. The bypass was extended north around 1960, allowing the A34 to take over the southern extension of the A4141.

A4147	Hemel Hempstead	St Albans
A4148	Bescot	Bescot	Walsall Ring Road
A4149
A4150			Wolverhampton Ring Road Originally the northern section of the Gloucester Ring Road. Later switched to a section of leftover A40 in the center of Gloucester (the ring road was renumbered to A40); became a portion of the A417 by 1946 and is now unclassified and partially pedestrianized.
A4151	A48 at Elton, Gloucestershire	A4136 at Nailbridge	Through the Forest of Dean, main town on this road is Cinderford
A4152			Ran from the A40 to the A4149 in Ross-on-Wye; now declassified, possibly when all Class I roads were removed from the town center following completion of the A40 eastern bypass.
A4153			Ran from the A438 on the River Wye to the A438 just north of the Whitney Bridge; originally the B4350. Now part of a rerouted A438.
A4154	Amersham	Amersham on the Hill	Originally ran from Ledbury to Ridgeway Cross; north of Ledbury was the southern end of the B4214 and the section from there via Bosbury to Westfield was the B4128. Downgraded by the 1970s; the B4214 got its section back while the remainder is now the B4220.

A4160	Newport Road, Cardiff	Llandough	Former A4055 and B4260. Number previously reserved in 1935 for upgrading the B489 to form a Swindon-East Anglia route with the A5160 (proposed to be used instead of the A505 for the A505/A601 route for number continuity). But the tonnage was not enough (and it was never going to be) to upgrade the road to Class I, so this proposal fell through and the route remains the B489.
A4161	Ely Bridge, Cardiff	Southern Way, Cardiff	Runs along a part of the old A48.
A4162	A4 at Sea Mills	A4018 at Westbury-on-Trym	Sylvan Way and Canford Lane

A4167	Highgate	Sparkbrook	Connects A41 to A4540/A435.
A4168	Woodsetton	Dudley	Originally ran between West Bromwich and Smethwick; initially numbered as B4168 and was the A4031 briefly in the late 1970s before becoming the A4168. However the real A4168 is in Dudley, making this use a duplicate. In 2004 the route was correctly renumbered to A4252, although some signs on the roundabout and approaches still showed A4168 as of December 2017.
A4169	Shifnal	Much Wenlock	The section immediately south of Shifnal was turnpiked in 1763 as one of a number of roads from Stafford and Newport, but leaves this turning sharply westwards, along a road formerly part of the Madeley turnpikes. It ends when reaches the present A442 road, but resumes a short distance further north, becoming a southern bypass for Telford. It then crosses Buildwas Bridge and runs to Much Wenlock.
A4170			Ran from Coventry City Centre to Keresley Green Road, originally part of the A423 until 1973. Downgraded to a portion of the B4098 in the late 1980s.

A4179			Ran along Wembley Hill Road, Empire Way and Bridge Road in Wembley; originally part of the B4565 and A4089. The section along Bridge Road returned to the A4089 while the remainder became the A479 (possibly a typo) when the new Wembley Stadium opened in 2007.
A4180	Yeading	Northwood	Starts at the White Hart Roundabout in Yeading at a junction with the A312. The section between this roundabout and the Polish War Memorial used to be the B455 but was "double-upgraded" to primary route status when the A312 Parkway bypass was built during the mid-1990s. Then becomes West End Road, High Street (Ruislip), Bury Street and Ducks Hill Road heading north towards the A404 Rickmansworth Road.
A4181			Not shown on maps; only appears in the 2005 DfT Road List as running along Roebuck Lane in West Bromwich, formerly B4168. If the number was used, it was probably for a short time in the late 1960s as the route was split by the M5 in the early 1970s. The nearby A4252 now serves A4181's function.
A4182	West Bromwich	West Bromwich

A4225			Ran from Porth to Trehafod, was the A4058. Downgraded to a portion of the B4278, but although there is evidence the A4225 number may still exist, it may be no more than a mapping error, as the current reference to it is on Google Earth.

The section between the A442 and M54 may have had the A4539 number with the remainder up to the A464 as part of the A5 (this is possible because the number on the map is as long as the section mentioned), but no further maps showing the number have been found.
A4540	Birmingham Ring Road		The Middleway. The name stems from the road originally being designated as the Middle Ring Road. It is now the only one of Birmingham's Ring Road to be completely dual carriageway.
A4541			Ran from Meole Brace to The Column, forming the start of the Shrewsbury eastern bypass. Renumbered to the A5112 except for a small section at the northern end that is now part of the A458. Whether or not the road was out-of-zone is debatable: while the road was on the wrong side of the A5 Shrewsbury bypass, it was on the correct side of the original A5.
A4542 - A4544	Unused
A4545	M42 J5A	Clock Interchange	Planned; number chosen "because of its significance linking it with the A45 Clock Interchange which is part of the network already used by motorists"
A4546 - A4599	Unused
A4600	M69 J2	Coventry	Formerly part of the A46.
A4601	Cannock	Cannock	Former route of A460.

A4723			Shown in a 1975 AA Touring Guide town plan for Birmingham on Harborne Lane in Selly Oak as headed for the "Ring Road (A4723)". As Harborne Lane is part of the A4040 (Birmingham Ring Road), the "A4723" is probably a typo for the A4123.
A4801			Ran from Piccadilly Circus to Charing Cross Road in London via Coventry Street (may be a typo for A4201, but could be genuine).
A4810	Newport SDR	M4 J23A	Classified A4810 in September 2013 when opened to the public
A4811	Glendulais	Glen-Hafren	Former routing of A483 and A489 though Newtown. Designated in February 2019 when the Newtown bypass opened.
