A40 road (Hunter)

The A40 is a major road in Southern Hunter. It is about 79 miles long, and stretches from the northern areas of the county of Ankershire and down to the border between the counties of Lairs and South Lairs, at the town of Burnsford. It was first constructed in 1951, and usuallly attracts about 62,000 cars daily.

Section 1 (Saddlesford-Andleby)
The road starts as a continuation of the M59 motorway that runs from the south centre of the big city of Hempdo in Northern Hunter to the border near Savyshire. It starts as a 4 lane dual carriageway with a grass median. It starts just a mile from the large village of Saddleford. It then heads south-southwest for about 23 miles until reaching a roundabout on the south coast of Hunter, near the small coastal village of Andleby.

This section of the A40 has a particularly hilly terrain, with a few mountains visible along the way. Many rock cuts are seen on the side of the road, especially in and around the Central Mountains area.

Section 2 (Andleby-Anker)
After the roundabout we just talked about, the A40 continues as a single carriageway on the 3rd exit of that particular roundabout. For the first few miles of this section, the A40 is only about 1,200 metres away from the coast. About 2.5 miles in, the A40 takes a subtle turn to the northwest direction, but shortly after, stays west for about 2 miles. It then takes a sharp turn northwest, and continues like that for about 15 miles before reaching the next section.

This section is about 19.5 miles long.

This section of the A40 is generally more flat terrain, but foresty areas and hilly sections are common in this section.

Section 3 (Anker Bypass)
This section is the shortest of all sections. It is only about 2.75 miles long, but this section is a 4-lane dual carriageway. This part of the A40 is also known as the Anker Bypass, as it by-passes the county town of Ankershire, Anker.

After a roundabout, the A40 turns dual carriageway. About 0.75 miles later, another roundabout appears, with the 1st exit being the A52 going to Land's End. About 2 miles later, the final roundabout occurs. After 3 roundabouts, the A40 turns to a single carriagway for the next, and the longest section.

On the 2nd part of the A40 Anker Bypass, there is a junction leading you into Anker.

Section 4 (Anker-Burnsford)
This is the longest section of the A40, at

After the last roundabout, the A40 turns into a single carriageway. The A40 goes in a north direction, then a brief northwest direction, and back to a north direction for the next county, Doonshire.

The A40 goes through lots of farmland and a few villages before reaching the county town of Doonshire, Doon. At Doon, the A40 passes 2 roundabouts.

After those 2 roundabouts, the A40 goes back into fairly agricultural land. It passes the villages of Tentercroft, Burton Lake and a few more villages, before going into the county of South Lairs.

As soon as the A40 enters South Lairs, the terrain gets a little steeper, and lots of trees can be visible. There's even a small rock cut near the village of Marbleton.

After the village of Hambleford, the A40 goes in a pretty winding route for a few miles, going northeast in one section, and nearly going west in another. Eventually, huge skyscrapers start to become visible in the distance. The terrain suddenly becomes pretty flat in this area of the A40.

Just 2.5 miles later, the A40 enters the county of Lairs. Lots of houses start to become visible, and at one point, the A40 crosses the M50 motorway at a bridge. Just 0.5 miles later, the A40 crosses a roundabout and enters the Padpool Metropolitan Area (PMA) town of Burnsford. The A40 ends at a traffic light junction near the centre of Burnsford, after 79 miles.

This section of the A40 is 33 miles long.
