Riley Green interchange, view south west (see all photos of the same view)
From this angle, it's easier to see the retaining wall on the left that will support the motorway adjacent to the westbound off-slip. At present the wall is standing alone; it will eventually have an embankment piled up against the side nearest the camera to carry the motorway up to the bridge. That sliproad is the only one to require a retaining wall, as it runs closer to the line of the motorway than the others to avoid the buildings on the left.

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.
Have you seen...
Croydon Ring Road
Common sense suggests that you shouldn't be able to spend so much money on heavy engineering and end up with such a terrible road system.
