A89

A89 is a road designation used in several countries to label major routes within their national road networks. The exact alignment, length, and jurisdiction of an A89 can vary by country, and the designation does not imply a single global route.

In the United Kingdom, the A89 is an A-road located in Scotland. As part of the national road network, it provides regional connectivity and links with other major routes. The road comprises a combination of single- and dual-carriageway sections and has historically undergone upgrades and bypass projects to improve traffic flow and safety. Local conditions and planning decisions can influence its current configuration.

In France, the A89 is an autoroute (toll motorway) that forms part of the French motorway network. It serves the southwestern part of the country and is designed to facilitate long-distance and inter-regional travel. The route is operated under a concession system by private companies under state oversight, with tolls collected at designated points along the corridor.

Beyond these instances, the A89 designation may appear in other national or regional road networks, though such uses are less common. As with other A-numbered routes, the specific features of an A89—its endpoints, lane structure, and traffic role—are determined by local transportation authorities and can change over time due to construction, policy updates, or reclassification.
