Philip's professional driver's Britain and Ireland, 2006

This exceptional atlas provides the increased level of information demanded by business drivers, whether of cars, vans or trucks, especially for those travelling occasionally to Ireland and/or Northern France. Ireland is covered over seven pages - far more than any competitive atlas - and is fully indexed. Across the channel, a full page map shows Calais and Boulogne, and a double page map shows the full extent of the northern French coast including all ferry ports. The atlas also provides four pages of concise reference information for business drivers, summarising the regulations on accidents and breakdowns; penalty points and disqualification; passenger transport; import and export; transport of goods. There is also a list of useful telephone numbers for roadside assistyance, traffic information, regulatory authorities, and roadside hotel groups. The 96 pages of standard-scale mapping cover Britain at 3 miles to 1 inch (Northern Highlands and Western Isles at 4 miles to 1 inch). The mapping clearly marks service areas, roundabouts and multi-level junctions, and in rural areas distinguishes between roads above and below 4 metres wide - a boon for drivers of wide vehicles.Additional mapping detail is provided by 57 fully indexed Town Centre Maps plus ultra-clear approach maps with named arterial roads for 12 major cities: Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham and Sheffield. Also included are detailed airport plans for Heathrow, Gatwick and Manchester, plus port plans of Dover, Felixstowe, Portsmouth, and Southampton. Other key features are a three-page route-planner including restricted motorway junctions plus roads under construction; a distances table; and a county/unitary authority map.
