M6 interchange, view east, 12 December 1997

M6 interchange, view east (see all photos of the same view)

The completed M6/M65 interchange is enormous in scale. It's carrying light traffic here, but the M65 is not actually open yet - these vehicles are travelling between the M6 and the A6, a route that now involves passing around the new roundabout.

What's new

Hello, here's my ridiculous side project

An introduction to what I write, and why I write it, and where my strange new road sign simulator fits in to all this.

London, in a new light

It was specially designed never to be noticed. And now it's disappearing, nobody has noticed its absence. It's London's own bespoke street light.

The Ringways Map is here

The wait is over! The full map of the Ringways, London’s unbuilt urban motorway network, is now online. Not even the system's planners had anything like this.
