The entry on the Glasgow section of the A74 is incorrect. It does not end at the Tollcross terminus of the M74 but at the B7071/A721 junction in Uddingston. The 'small remnant' remark is also relative. The A74 from the City Centre out to Uddingston is almost 10 miles long.--Stevouk 14:46, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Importance

The northern end of the A74 is a major route into Glasgow. According to the Highways Agency, the southern end carries three quarters of all Anglo-Scottish traffic. That's 44,000 vehicles a day, slightly more than the first section of the high-importance A1 I found a figure for (Bedford). Is "low-importance" sufficient for the A74?
