i wonder what the figure is? Some metrosexual once tried to tell me
"most roads have pavements" having not left the city, poor dear. I
tried to find figures but failed.

So trying again:-
"The minor (i.e. 'B', 'C' and unclassified) road length in Great
Britain was estimated to be 345 thousand kilometres in 2007, amounting
to 87 per cent of the total road length."

so thats 396,551 K or 246405 miles. Well done!

Thinking about it, that does sound low - I suspect it's just trunk routes.
