M6 interchange and Cuerden footbridge, view north, 17 July 1996

M6 interchange and Cuerden footbridge, view north (see all photos of the same view)

In the foreground, the south-facing sliproads at the new interchange are already in use, carrying traffic on a temporary route through the worksite to reach the A6. The reason can be seen in the background: at the top of the picture, the old south-facing sliproads at junction 29 are interrupted by excavation work. They will eventually be rebuilt to link up with the new roundabout in the middle of the picture.

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.
