A49 underbridge, view east, 20 July 1995

A49 underbridge, view east (see all photos of the same view)

The A49 underbridge can be seen at the bottom of the picture, and the M6 interchange above it. The northernmost bridge of the future M6 interchange has been completed, allowing the haul road to cross the M6 directly; at the bottom right, a tipper truck is crossing the A49, aided by traffic lights where the haul road meets the public highway.

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.

London Congestion Charge

One of the world's biggest and most controversial schemes to manage traffic by charging for roadspace. You can drive in to London if you like, guv, but it'll cost you.
