Number later used for a road linking Hilsea and Portsmouth. Became the northern carriageway of the A3 after the M275 was built. | |

A3034 | Unused | Ran along York Road between the A36 and A38 in Bristol (now A370). Initially thought to have become an eastern extension of the A370 in 1935, a mid-1960s map shows the route as still A3034 and the 1974 AA Touring Guide to England shows the road as A3024 (a typo), meaning the route may have had its number until the 1970s; it is now likely that the change was in 1935, but was later reversed as some large scale OS maps from the 1940s and 1950s show the road as A370.

A3079 | Okehampton | Holsworthy | A3079 was previously used for the road from A30 northeast to Ilminster, which became part of the then-new A303 when that route was created |
A3080 | Unused | Ran along Bathwick Street in Bath, forming a shortcut between the A4 and A36. Now a spur of the A4 or A36, depending on direction of travel, although maps and the local council claim it as a spur of the A36. | |
A3081 | Unused | Renumbering of the eastern half of the B3241 in Plymouth. Downgraded to the B3214, probably around the same time the A386 was rerouted. | |
A3082 | St Blazey | Fowey | |
A3083 | Helston | Lizard | |
A3084 | Unused | First used in south Cornwall between Par and Holmbush along the westernmost section of the B3271 (much of which became the A3082 except for this section), but it became a portion of the A3082 anyway in 1935.
Used a second time in 1937 as a temporary number for the northern section of the Exeter Bypass (renumbered from the A378), but it became the A38 in 1938 when it was rerouted (old A38 became the A3085). Used a final time in 1975 between Redhills and Alphington on the western edge of Exeter. Declassified in the late 1970s when the A30 western bypass was built. | |
A3085 | Unused | Original routing of the A38 in Exeter before it was rerouted on top of the A3084. The northern section is now mostly the B3212 and much of the multiplex is now pedestrianized. The section from the River Exe to the northern edge of Alphington is now the A377, the route into Alphington itself is now the B3123 and the remainder unclassified. The southern end is now gone, lost under the A30 bypass. | |
A3086 | Unused | Location unknown, but since the A3095 was created in 1935 this clearly did exist. This may have been a short-lived road from Andover to Micheldever (upgrade of the B3049; became part of the A303). | |

A3090 | Near Winchester | Near Totton | Formerly part of the A31. Before this, the A3090 was allocated to the road from the A31 through Winchester to the A33; this became the B3040 and an extension of the B3047, and the A3090 was reused on the current route. |
A3091 | Unused | Ran via Sussex Street and City Road from High Street (then the A272) to Hyde Street (then the A3090) in Winchester (now B3420 and B3330). | |
