View east from Hill House Farm to Sandy Lane (see all photos of the same view)
At the bottom left of the picture, the boundary fence for the motorway has moved to the bottom of the embankment. This cutting slope has been designed to be much shallower than is strictly necessary and its shape blends in to the natural slope of the land, with the intention that most of it would be returned to farmland. This helps the motorway fit in to its surroundings more naturally. Visible here are Hill House Farm bridge (in the foreground) and Sandy Lane (in the distance).

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.
Have you seen...
Above the M8
Go to Glasgow and it's almost inevitable that you'll use the M8. The views of the city surrounding it are really quite unique.
