This is the old A5 that used to carry on through Little Brickhill village. The (comparatively) new A5 now sweeps round the village. The green sign is on this new road, showing how close it is to the old route at this point. I'm classifying this as "Road (disused)" as although still open to traffic, it is no longer the thoroughfare it used to be.
