Old Newton Road
This small country road is busy; it acts as an alternative to the congested A380, and it carries heavy lorries, many of them to and from Stoneycombe Quarry. The new main road, now under construction, will provide a more suitable route for these, albeit at a cost to the rural environment.

South Devon Highway bypassing Kingskerswell
The South Devon Highway (or Kingskerswell Bypass) connects Torbay and Newton Abbot, bypassing the A380 between Penn Inn, Newton Abbot and Kerswell Gardens in Torquay, which was one of the most choked up and heavily used roads in the South West, carrying more than 35,000 vehicles a day. Construction of the 3.4 mile (5.5km) dual carriageway began in 2012 and it was opened in 2015.
