Where are you from? Might be someone here familiar with both places, could help to compare.
Apart from motorways, there are other roads you can't cycle on, they are signed accordingly. In London these include the Westway (A40) and Limehouse Link. Not sure how common it is out of london. The (M) after A1(M) also means it's a motorway.
I don't know what you mean by primary and secondary roads?
Other roads you can legally cycle on but it isn't always advisable. There are many A-roads I would avoid. You can't really tell from a road map. Google streetview can be helpful. But it varies so much as well person to person.
I'm sure someone much more knowledgeable will be along in a moment... @Oliver Schick @tricitybendix

Hi...
Here in England the roads are different from my country. You have the motorway, the primary roads and the A roads, then secondary roads and others.
I know I can't ride my bike on the motorway, but I'm not sure and can't find any information about the primary roads. And also some of the A roads seems to be 'dangerous' for cyclists, how can I know the difference between them, as for example the A41 and the A4116? Can I use both of them?
Thank you.
