The A3055 is an A-Class Road on the Isle of Wight in Southern England. It forms the Southern half of the circular around-the-Island A-class loop, the northern half being the A3054. The section along the south-west coast of the Island is formed by the Military Road.
The route is, for a UK A-Road, quite poorly signed, and in places it is very easy to end up continuing too far around a town's one-way system and heading back where you started, Ventnor is the prime example.
Because of the road's short length, there are no confirmatory signs with distances, although on a few direction signs at junctions you may find the distance to the next major place. The final destination of the road (Freshwater/Totland or Ryde), in common with most UK roads, is not signed along the whole length of the route. As well as fitting with national practice, this is also because anybody wishing to travel from Totland to Ryde by road would do so via the North coast A3054, as it is much more direct.
