Cuerden embankment, view north (see all photos of the same view)

The two motorways crossing this view are both carried on huge embankments that have almost completely reshaped the valley. The nearest faces Cuerden Valley Park and in the years since the motorway has opened has been covered with trees.

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.

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.
