The A1 road in Jersey is a major route on the south of the island and links

St Brelade.^[1]

History

The A1 road was originally classified in the 1950s, at the same time as all the other A roads in Jersey Before the West of Albert reclamation project in the 1990s, the A1 used to travel along the entire length of the Esplanade Road as a dual carriageway, then form a

gyratory

around the former abatoire building.

Route

The A1 begins travelling westbound at

A2. Traffic must turn right off the road to continue onto the A1. The A1 now meets a junction with the B87 (down which the St Helier Ring Road continues). A1 traffic now leaves the town along a short stretch of road before arriving in the Ville ès Nouaux

(First Tower). The A1 continues to head toward the St Helier border, meeting junctions with the B27 and the A10.

Traffic for the A1 except buses cannot continue on the A1 after its junction with the A10 due to a bus gate. Traffic must instead use the A2. The A1 then continues on as the A11.

Beyond this, the A2 becomes the A1 at Bel Royal. The road continues to the

filter-in-turn

, where traffic can either continue along the A1 to St Aubin and eventually St Brelade or mount Beaumont Hill to reach St Peter.

Much of the middle section of the route runs parallel with the nearby coastal

A2 road

(Victoria Avenue).
