M61 interchange, wide view north, 21 October 1996

M61 interchange, wide view north (see all photos of the same view)

The cutting on the right has now been re-graded to create a much wider sliproad on to the M61; at this point the Walton Summit Motorway is closed to traffic and the closure may have been to allow the new sliproad to be brought into use. The old course can be seen in lighter grey tarmac.

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.
