A15
From Peterborough past Glinton and Northborough, around Market Deeping, then on to Bourne and Sleaford. Busy at rush hour with commuters into the city.
A16
From the A47 near Eye, past Crowland and around Spalding, then on to Boston. This stretch used to be the A1073 and was renumbered as the A16 in 2011, so older sat-navs and maps may still call it that.
