The road is designated as a Primary Route from its junction with the A64 in Scarborough to its southern terminus in Hull.

[3] The new route included a new roundabout at Osgodby and at the Cayton Bay Holiday Camp.

[4] The details in this section are taken from Ordnance Survey Open Viewer and Hull City Council.

The route diverts away from the original road that went into the town centre, now the A1038, and instead goes around the western side to the junction with the A164 near Bridlington Hospital.

The road goes through open countryside again, passing the villages of Fraisthorpe, Barmston, Lissett, Beeford, Brandesburton and Leven.

One section continues on Witham crossing the A1165 (New Cleveland Street/Great Union Street) and the River Hull over the Grade II listed[7] North Bridge in George Street (a Scherzer rolling lift bridge).

A 30 miles per hour (48 km/h) speed limit is in operation through Beeford, Bridlington, Filey, Skirlaugh.
