a question about British English from an American translator

[William Ryan]

If you are going from the centre of Oxford and heading for London, when 
you get out of the built-up area of Oxford, you come to a dual 
carriageway road (A40) which links to the motorway ( M40) after a few 
miles. Most English people would probably have three possible ways of 
directing you: "keep going till you hit the dual carriageway (or main 
road, or A40), and follow the signs to the M40".
