A 1998 Highway Extravaganza Page
The "A" Routes.
These are the main cross-island highways; connecting all main points.
Jamaica used Imperial measurements in 1985; this table reflects that. They've since gone metric. Traffic drives on the left. There are very few miles of dual carriageway, and only a few elevated junctions.
This table is based on the 1985 General Drafting Esso Map of Jamaica.

The "B" Routes.
These are regional roads that link smaller localities into the "A" system. Not all of these roads are sealed. Those that aren't are indicated by brown cells.
There are also a few un-numbered roads that are sealed, and provide significant connections. These are shown in grey cells with "NONE" in the number cell.
