The first motorway was the Preston bypass opened in 1958 and is now part of the M6.
The first motorway opened in Britain was the M6 (M=Motorway). It was known as the Preston Bypass. It was opened in 1958. When it was planned, the Preston Bypass was seen as the first piece of a large network. It was deemed a success and led to the construction of a second motorway, the M1, opened in 1959. There was no speed limit and no crash barriers and hardly any traffic -- now that's what I call motoring! The M6 is also Britain's longest motorway and Britain's busiest.
The first Motorway in UK (M6) was opened in 1958.
The Preston Bypass, the first section of what is now the M6 was the first motorway in the country, built by Tarmac Construction and opened by the then Prime Minister, Harold Macmillam on 5 December 1958.

The first motorway every built in the whole world was the Autostrada dei Laghi (or Milano - Laghi) in Italy, opened in 1924. It connected Milan to the city of Como. Many people believe that Germany built the first motorway. However, the AVUS was not a public road, it was a race track to test cars, so it cannot be called "motorway".
The M1 motorway opened in 1959.
The first road of this kind was completed in 1932 between Cologne and Bonn. It was opened by Konrad Adenauer the Mayor of Cologne on 6 August 1932, a year before the Nazis came to power.
