| General description:
The only A numbers are A1, A2, A3, A14, A23, A104 and A109.
C numbers begin with 11 in the southwest and increase to the north, and then further to the east. The highest numbers are in the southeast (up to 115). There is no duplication between B, C, D and E numbers but there are A and B roads with the same number (e.g. A2 and B2). | ||||||

| History: Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania used to have a common road numbering system, with only three numbers in eastern Uganda, which are extensions of roads in Kenya, and full coverage of Kenya and Tanzania. In the early 1980's, Tanzania introduced its own system, which has 'A' numbers. Both countries each had their own 'B' numbers. | ||||||
