Contact me
Hello! I'm Chris. I run this website. You can contact me using this form. It's always nice to hear from you.
Before you start, the answers to all the most common questions are in the FAQ, and for anything else, you'll find the SABRE forums will provide you with an answer more reliably and more quickly than I can.
I don't have the time to reply to all the emails I receive, but I reply to as many as I can. But please don't get the wrong idea! I'm actually very friendly and your email is more than welcome.
The small print
Here are some things I can't help you with.
- I am not the government, your local council or National Highways.
- I am not a highway engineer or a civil engineer.
- I am not able to advise you on anything to do with traffic law.
- I don't have official information about the road network. (For traffic counts, precise location of roadside assets, and anything else of that nature, I can only direct you to the Department for Transport.)
- I'm not going to give you a job.
- I can't help you get a speed limit, road classification or parking restriction changed.
- I can't explain to you why a specific speed limit, road classification or parking restriction exists.
- I can't help you get a parking ticket or speeding fine overturned, or offer you any advice about them.
- I do not carry paid content and I am not interested in publishing your sponsored link, content placement, guest post, collaboration or advertising.

The road that made no sense
It was the UK's only single-carriageway motorway, and twenty years ago it ceased to exist. This is the story of the strange fascination it held, and of my place in history.
The forever bottleneck, part 2

Have you seen...
Skelmersdale Link to M6
Bold plans and unrealised ideas for the New Town of Skelmersdale are set out with great ceremony and excitement in this book that marks the opening of a road that became the M58.
