Road
Luton is connected to the M1 motorway major arterial route, and with other major roads, the A6 and the A505.
The M1 connects with Luton at Junctions 10 and 11 to the south and west of the town, providing access to London and the North. The A6 starts in the town and travels north to Bedford and eventually the North West. The A6 previously extended south to Barnet, but this section has been re-numbered the A1081. The A505 provides connections east to Hitchin, the A1(M) and East Anglia; and west to Dunstable and the A5. In Luton the A505 forms a southerly ring road around the town, with the A5228 providing a more direct northerly bypass with the A505.

Famous quotes containing the word road:
“In the fevered state of our country, no good can ever result from any attempt to set one of these fiery zealots to rights, either in fact or principle. They are determined as to the facts they will believe, and the opinions on which they will act. Get by them, therefore, as you would by an angry bull; it is not for a man of sense to dispute the road with such an animal.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“My desk, most loyal friend
thank you. You’ve been with me on
every road I’ve taken.
My scar and my protection.”
—Marina Tsvetaeva (1892–1941)
“The road to the Other World all ages can travel.”
