The
A381 road is a non-
trunk 'A'-class road in
Devon,
England which serves as an important link between the towns of Teignmouth, Kingsteignton, Newton Abbot, Totnes and Salcombe and many villages in between, with the busiest section (in Newton Abbot) having 6 lanes and carrying an average of over 40,000 vehicles per day. The route
overlaps with other A-roads for several sections of its length. It is a faster route from Teignmouth to Salcombe than the
A379 which meets it at both ends. It is under the control of
Devon County Council as highway authority.
