Glasgow is linked to Edinburgh by the M8 motorway - passing west to the airport and the Clyde Coast - and to England and Wales by the M74, which becomes the M6 further south, toward Glasgow. From there, the M1 continues south to London. The Clyde Valley Tourist Route, a more scenic route that runs through the valley parallel to the M74, has distinctive brown and white signs to guide motorists.

Traffic in Britain drives on the left and overtakes on the right. Main roads are designated by a letter, followed by up to four numbers - an 'M' indicates a motorway, 'A' a major trunk road and 'B' a minor road.
